Walk on the wild side

Here is a photo I took yesterday afternoon of beaver damage in Jackson Park, near Lake Michigan. Beavers are ingenious builders, creating dams that can change the flowing course of rivers. In Native American animal symbolism, the beaver tells us to believe in our dreams as if they were real and build on them. You can change the course of your life by structuring your life with a goal to coax your dreams into your physical reality.

And Jane took this photo on the same walk - bufflehead ducks which are the smallest diving ducks in North America. They breed in ponds and small lakes in Canada, and winter in much of the United States.

And here is a photo I took of the new moon.  The new moon symbolism speaks to us of an emptiness that is unfathomable. Our ancestors knew it, and we know it too, on various levels. New moons remind us of the void, the gaping hole that is nothingness. The first step. Another beginning. A new revolution. http://www.symbolic-meanings.com/
