Having visited many forest locations this week, with few birds, I decided to visit Humber Bay and took almost 1200 photos. These are what I consider the better ones.

NATURE POETRY

Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand,

There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little, perhaps not a word. – Walt Whitman
