Day 2 - a Year by the Sea

January 2, 2007 by OrientSee.

After my hip replacement last July, I had to relearn some basic physical skills, toe-heel walking, bending, etc. One exercise involved closing my eyes and then balancing on one foot. Surprisingly, it was more about strength than balance except that I could never do it for very long. So walking down by the river today (more physical exercise), I saw this goose on one leg and with one wing extended, resting while the wind was blowing at least 15 mph. Certainly with more elan and finesse than I ever managed. They can seem ungainly and awkward but they possess more grace than this one human.

Ciao!
