Wordless Wednesday – allow your photo(s) to tell the story.

About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each and every post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things I see on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, and so my blog is peppered with folks I meet, or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post that day. I respect and appreciate nature and my interaction with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. My career has been in the legal field and I have been a legal secretary for four decades, primarily working in downtown Detroit, and now working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in print journalism in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met and shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing once again in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy – hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    I laughed when I figured out where your title came from. I was concentrating on the bird and missed the clue.

    Great shots of this bird. I once put a seagull standing on one leg in a post. In her comment one lady had so much sympathy for the bird that lost one of its legs.

      Thanks Peggy. It is pretty amazing how seagulls tuck the entire leg and foot (and their webbed feet are so wide) into their feathers and you can’t see them, so I can see the lady feeling badly for the bird losing one of its legs. I follow the Michigan Duck Rescue & Sanctuary on Facebook. A group of volunteers go out and rescue waterfowl all over the state. Yesterday they wrote about a goose that got fishing wire wrapped around both feet and it had already lost one foot but they were able to save the other foot. No licensed rehabbers would take the goose due to the avian flu.

        Yes, I follow Nottingham Nature Center on Facebook. It is not near me, but Cheryl rehabs a lot of animals at her place, some deer as well. There was a story on the news how a deer was spotted near the Center over the last few weeks and it had a plastic pumpkin kids use for collecting candy stuck on its head/snout up to its eyes. It had not eaten in all that time and volunteers managed to get a net over the deer and remove the deer which bolted and took off – they named it “Lucky”.

    Cute, Linda! What is it about most birds that they can roost/sleep on one leg? I know I can barely stand on one without staggering back to two!

    I guess my goal should be to look at the fine print on your photo!

      You were not the only one who didn’t see it Ally – I guess I should have put something in the headline or a tag, so people would notice it. All thy saw was the one-legged seagull, which miraculously had a second leg appear in the next two shots.
