I am sorry. I am angry. I am tired. I have written this post about this afternoon & evening, including an update on Leonor, twice. Blogger has lost it twice. I've now seen that the 2nd text is there below, without these pictures, so I will keep it for you to read. But I will keep the following paragraph, because I like it.It's only to tell you that when I arrived back in the hospital from Lisbon (first time in more than 3 WEEKS!), she looked at me and held her hand out, silently asking me to take it. Which I gladly did and spent the next hour until it was "Night-Night" time stroking and kissing it.
(The earlier post is more detailed. The first was the strongest of course. This Blogger
can be really annoying sometimes.)

Hi, Now-here Man.
Hola Manuel e muchas graçias, claro me gustan y mas las aves. Tengo una admiraçión hasta una envidia muy positiva de su don de volar. Me gustava tanto ter esse don!
Meg, Lol, you got it! There was one picture I saw last night after the importing which really looked as if the duck was waving hello like crazy at me!
Your images remain intuitive and expressive NM, they are a joy. The ducks remind me of that saying about living life like a duck, calm and gracious above, paddling frantically to get anywhere below...
This is for Jenny by proxy [via e-mail, as she's having problems getting in to comment] (everything's possible, Sweetie!):
'I'm glad you got away for a day - watching ducks in a pond can be so soothing & cheering. They're beautiful, they're funny, and water can have such a calming, therapeutic effect!'

To which I reply: water: the wide river estuary & the ocean and all the activity going on there, or nothing at all but the waves, space and the peace that it brings are something I am missing most in the 3 months since I moved (strangely) upriver. I really only discovered the power of the ocean to calm and inspire awe in Portugal, maybe because it always looks so inviting, in its intense blues, maybe because it is so ubiquitous. Then at sundown, particularly out of summer when the sunset brings a range of other colours from ice-blue to red & purple. The ducks have long fascinated me, but yesterday was different, this idea of following them at their level. Recommended, up close.
no estuve aquí. ya volví. respiré hondo y tuve frío. ça va parfois d'avoir froid.
à la longue, on doit s'habituer aux divers climats de l'âme et du pays.
los patos son très sympa :)
(j'ai mis ton blog-adresse là parce que l'auteur veut faire un directoire à propos du "mois du blog". il a demandé à chaque visiteur de proposer 5 blogs qu'on visite pour partager avec d'autres lecteurs et faire savoir ça à nos "élus" pour qu'ils aillent aussi faire ses suggestions :)
Hola P, content de te revoir. T'as vu ce que j'ai écrit jeudi sur les photos à Paço d'Arcos en plein janvier? "Triste mas renconfortant de revoir janvier".
Que c'est chouette, et en plus une honneur que me has colocado en esta lista, aunque todavia L-L no aparesca. De toda manera, yo que no sabe nada das técnicas para hacer una lista de los blogs recomendas, ahora me siento hasta más estúpido!!! Besitos.
