I've heard and read that more and more people are depressed these days. I can't help but believe it is due to a lack of genuine connection with loved ones and the natural world around us.  We seem to have everything we want and more, and yet, we come up lacking. Technology has not fulfilled us in the way we all thought it would. Throughout my week there has been a recurring theme. That theme has been about 'want'.

Caution! Aggressive Mute Swans in Port Credit, Mississauga. - 06/04/12 02:57 PM
Aggressive Mute Swans Found in the Port Credit area of Mississauga.
The Mute Swan is a very common sight along the Lake Ontario shoreline of Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto.

Soaring high overhead, with wingspans reaching 6 feet across, the Turkey Vulture is a common sight along the valleys of the Niagara Escarpment in the Burlington area.
