Thomas was out (is still out, in fact!) at a birthday party, so it was just the three of us and Maggie wanted to "do SOMETHING....I'm bored!" So it was decided that we would go for a walk and feed the ducks.
The sun had come out and it was actually a beautiful afternoon for a walk. We got to the bird sanctuary to find, not only the ducks and swans, but a beautiful heron...and a lady with a camera that put mine well to shame! The lens was so big she could hardly hold it!!! Still, I was not phased, or jealous or put out. I clicked away beside her, and would like to think that me and my wee Olympus got as many good shots as the photographer lady got.
I certainly enjoyed myself! And Meggie and I looked for nice contrasts again on the way home. She is getting really good at spotting little things that make us all smile.
It was a very enjoyable interlude. A good way to be together, enjoying the moment.
Gratefully yours.

Fishing

I sit close
by the water's edge
watching a heron
fish by moonlight.
I admire his mindfulness
the carefully chosen
precision of his steps
his stillness
as he perches,
his body hung
like the sliver of a moon
over the water.
Out on the sands
the seals sing
as the heron and I
go fishing
each for their own
the heron, fishing for the moon
I am fishing for a poem.
What a beautiful poem! Thank you so much for sharing it. xx
DeleteFabulous pics Jake....I bet the 'photographer' spent so long focussing her lense she didnt get shots half as good as yours Xx
