Restorative River Walks

Well, I've had a lot of unwanted "excitement" here in the past few months. LSS (long story short) I've had kidney and related problems on and off since April that have been worsening since November, including a week long kidney "event" over Christmas vacation, four rounds of antibiotics (since July after 20+ years without any) and advocacy turned argument with the medical system. And, my tooth is still not resolved after five months of trying to fix it.

Now, I have a cold from my son's school.

It's just not going well.

But, I've been trying to get out and walk everyday along Cooper River and Hopkins Pond to keep myself active, regardless of how I'm feeling. That has been wonderful.

Here are some pictures:

There are a few male kingfishers who have overwintered and assertively guard their river territory, flying furiously back and forth and chattering their raucous chatter! 

(If you like you can read more about the Cooper River Watchable Wildlife Walk, the map there doesn't seem to include the portion in Haddonfield and Cherry Hill that I walk, but that's OK!).

Frozen seagull tracks or cross country ski pole imprints? :-)

Hard to know...

Hopkins Pond after the fresh snow we got on Tuesday night.

BTW, if you like these and want to see more, I'm mostly on Instagram these days, posting a pic or two a day from my walks, when I can take them.

Have a peaceful day!
