This beautiful little creature, a Kingfisher called into a friends camping site at Wollondilly River Station last weekend to perhaps rest and decide what to do next whilst he was searching for food. He sat on this branch for quite some time which gave my friend plenty of time to reach for his camera, get a few shots and as a bonus inadvertently gave my friend time to relax and to ponder his life right now.
We all have times don’t we when we feel the world is against us and that our obstacles are so immense we will never see over or around them.
How beneficial that this beautiful creature chose that branch and that particular time on which to alight almost forcing my friend to concentrate on him and nothing else for a few moments.
The strength of our spirits, when, seemingly at their lowest always seems to find a way to lighten our load, even for a few minutes by losing ourselves in the sight and wonder of nature.
This little Kingfisher is testament to that.

That little Kingfisher did lift my heart that day, when I was feeling sad and lonely. It was as if my Mother had come and sat next to me by that river and was giving me a sign of her love, and that she knew I needed her at that moment. How nice it is when a friend also recognises that we are going through a tough time and makes a kind gesture in our direction. Special thanks to my good friend Vonnie x
