I get an hour for lunch each day. Rather than doom-scroll on my phone and waste five hours a week, I like to use that time a bit better. Mondays are for DW posts from the coffee shop. Fridays are usually lunch with my good friend. And one day in between I'll go for either a coffee or a beer, and sit and read my book. That leaves a couple days open for different things.

Now that spring is here, I can get back to doing some walking. And that's what I did today. Our city has a Provincial nature reserve, and it never dawned on me until today just how close it is to the office. After a quick five minute drive I was strolling down a trail through the park, and most of the road noise was quickly left behind.

I know there's lots of wildlife there, but for today I only really saw and heard birds. Several different finches, red winged blackbirds, blue jays, and one handsome cardinal that took a moment from his busy day to pose for a picture...
