A canal on an early spring day – the first signs of nature awakening

Here follows a pictorial series of observations on a warm but not sunny day. To view, click the printer icon on the top right and the images will become bigger. The first example is a chicken house.

The smile says it all

I am watching a fascinating video about an Indian lady who was murdered by her sister in law and transferred to another lady 100 km away. The lady assumed the personality of the deceased and remained in the body until her death 13 years later. This is evidence for the survival of human consciousness.
