About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, 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. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions 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. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    The first photo speaks volumes. Good thing he’s not a parakeet or you’d get a lecture on top of the look!

      Yes, birds have that look sometimes Dave, without even being vocal. 🙂 We had pet birds through the years and they all had distinct personalities and you could read them like a book sometimes. I’m surprised I got to take as many shots as I did before this little sparrow flew off!

    Oh, it’s too difficult to hold a good pose for long! I commend it for still giving you a few memorable shots before taking off.

    Cute little bird! I hope it isn’t negatively affected by the Canadian smoke. A whole lot of birds are being negatively affected.
