Morning Walk
I have been concerned that the otters would not survive the season of hunters-with-new-guns, as I have not seen any sign of them in several days. This morning I spotted bubbles on the surface of one of the ponds, which is a good sign that an otter as been fishing recently, but no otters have I seen. I hope they have not gone on to the river as I know they soon will.
In This Spot
In this spot I have watched Heron, Egret, Ibis and water turtle compete for space and minnows.
In this spot I have listened to a thousand frogs compete for turf and female.
Today in this spot, surrounded by a cloud of my own breath, I strain and find only a handful of songbirds.
What will I find from this spot tomorrow?
