Finally, a reason to celebrate :-)

[Boston001]

For months now my *** has been dragging around this deep gloomy feeling. While everyone else seems to be Joyfully celebrating their holidays. Part of my gloominess is "SAD" Seasonal affective disorder. I try antidepressants, light therapy, and exorcising ,,, oops exercising. And it helps but the other humans beat the blues back into me with the holiday music, movies, and commercials reminding me I can't buy matching Mercedes-Benzes with big red bows for all my loved ones. But that's another rant for another time. Back to the only celebration worth going outside for, Spring! Today at 5:24 PM, here in Massachusetts. The tilt of the earth reaches the spring equinox, the point where the days start getting longer than the night. There will be a month delay before the weather really starts to change, but even now if I go out and sit with my face in the sun, I can feel its warmth and see the sun's color changing from a pale white to a golden glow. Here in New England, trees are budding, birds are coming back, and Spring peepers (frogs) are singing at night come hither and spawn with me ;-). As a photographer and artist, the call of nature wins out over my agoraphobic winter denning. and a 7 month's reprieve from the guilt trip of capitalism's extreme spending mania ❤️ 🌎🕶️🩳🌲🌱🌷🌼🐝🐡🦋🐌🦅🦡🦃🐿️🐥

You paint such a wonderful picture in my mind of what it looks like. How could anybody not want to come out of the hibernation of agoraphobia into the light to witness this beautiful season.

Mallard? Not sure?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

That has green head but maybe female

[Boston001 in reply to Hidden]

Not sure, the brown head is unusual that's why I took its photo. This time of year it is probably just passing through the area. It was diving for food most likely plants

[Boston001 in reply to Hidden]

I just googled it. It is a Female Common Goldeneye. It says they winter in Massachusetts and breed in the summer in Canada

[Hidden in reply to Boston001]
