me·a cul·pa
ˌmāə ˈko͝olpə
noun
an acknowledgment of one's fault or error.
hey gang, long time...
I wanted to come back here, post some stuff and show my gratitude to the forum and Kevin now because the time seemed right.
Some of you are aware that things went sideways with me and here back in February and i decided to stay away for a while, for the good of the forum i thought.
I didn't stop birding, i just went out around home and avoided crowds LOL.
I felt bad about how things spiraled out of control here and i did a lot of reflecting on my life later and why it happened, to this day i'm still not sure why, but i learned a lot about myself.
That's why i am back today, with a new focus and determination to be a better person in my social life (and not take things as seriously). I want to roll with the punches so to speak.
I went through a time thinking that all the local birders hated me now (that's not a fun feeling), i was previously quite outspoken in my views and now i am less so (ironically enough, i won employee of the month for August at work and one of the things they said was that i was not afraid to speak my mind LOL) and while i did notice a few Flickr contacts dropped me i noticed also the ones who did not, appreciation!
Please allow me to contribute here again? i can play nice with others, promise
Here are some shots from my time in the abyss this past spring, i had to take 3 months off in the summer to deal with some home renovations as well but am eager to get out again, i may even spread my wings and leave the north shore again
Townsend's Warbler - Cypress Mountain
Swainson's Thrush - North Vancouver
Yellow-breasted Chat - ok, i did cross some bridges to see this guy
Black-headed Grosbeak - Maplewood Flats
Western Tanager - North Vancouver
Wilson's Warbler - North Vancouver
Mac's Warbler
Mountain Bluebird - North Van Automall
Yellow-rumped Warbler - North Vancouver
Enough about me, look forward to seeing everyone else's work, take care and cheers!
