  • Can we say true heroism and humility are spelled the same?

    Bird Droppings January 8, 2024 Can we say true heroism and humility are spelled the same?

  • Solitude is within one’s soul and heart.

    Bird Droppings January 6, 2024Solitude is within one’s soul and heart. On most mornings, I venture out to take photos of the sunrise animals I encounter and old buildings I find along the way.
