About Tammy
- Tammy Brierly
- Northern California, United States
- I'm a woman who is on a mission to educuate people about ALS. 15 cases diagnosed a day in the US. There is no cure and most die between 2-5yrs. Ask me about ALS? I have lived w/ALS for 19yrs and found love 6yrs ago after 13yrs as a single mom. Now I have my 4yr old grandson and love to keep me going. I am not ALS it's just a part of who I am. It has been a blessing to have been given time to cut through the crap and see the beauty in life.

Tammy, I love this! There are a family of swans that I watch every day on my way to work - well, over the past five years its been many families that have grown up on this little pond in the middle of an expressway. But I'm always so touched at watching the young ones grow every day, until one day they're just gone, flown off on their own. Always makes me a little teary when that instinct kicks in.
Great haiku :)
I love watching birds of any kind- their instincts to fly south for the winter and then return home... just amazing. Thank you for this lovely little haiku!
Tammy, what an adorable picture and touching haiku. I love ducks. It's interesting that so many of us wrote about birds this week, don't you think? :)Thank you!
I was drawn to the ducks and geese on a pond near our home over the weekend. This is a close picture! You've captured their gradual process of growth and moving on so well.
Beautiful photo and haiku.
Very nice - i love ducks too!
Very well done, Tammy! The ducks are fascinating and it's fun to watch them grow and change and find their own path. Many ducks live across the road in the Bois du Boulogne and hang out at the ponds and lakes.
I love how you have paired the image and the words--it deepens it so much for me. As a mother, I read this poem in a bittersweet way...as someone seeking her own path--I found it encouraging. Nicely done,
D.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I love your poem and picture, they go together.
Very sweet, Ms. Tammy.
I tend to take lots of duck pics and they never seem to express as well in print as they do in person. Probably true of most things...and people, huh?
Take care!
Love,
Nancy
Oh my, I'm running into such synchronicity tonight...I just came across a 54 year old family photo of mine earlier in which a duck plays an important part. I won't go on about it, but your ku catches the spirit, in a way, of my present responses to that old photo. Thanks!
I love this - it describes just how I feel watching my daughter as she grows up and discovers the world around her.
This is good, I wonder if humans used to have this instinct?By the way, I love your haircut!!
What a hopeful poem and perfect photo!
