Today, awake at 5 am to chase a Western Kingbird at the Oxbow with Les.
No kingbird, but still.
A day overflowing:
A quiet, chill Sunday morning
Perfect for watching the world with a like-minded soul
Adding to my ever-growing list of things that fly
(Tennessee Warbler)
We watched a thousand swallows dance over
A million sparkles of light
The smallest things caught my eye and became beautiful
A small animal in need found us and came home with me
(He's not staying.)
Afternoon: Germantown Metropark with my family.
A different place but the same feeling of overflowing
Enjoying an elegant lady resting
Dancing with dogs,
Catching baby leeches by accident
And pursuing an Eastern Tailed-Blue by choice,
Showing that elusive blue, just a glance, like fancy petticoats under a printed muslin.

While I wish you'd gotten to see your Kingbird, it sounds like a wonderful day.
What a beautiful day! I love the spider and the elusive blue. Your daughters keep getting more beautiful every time I see them! They're shooting up so fast.
God I love sparkles on water. Makes me want to overflow.
What a lovely day! Love that blue little beauty :)
What a beautiful post for a beautiful day. Wish I'd been there.
Bird IDed as Tennessee Warbler here looks like a fall Prairie Warbler to me.
Whoops. My bad. Les was pointing them out and I had a confusion.
We saw both a Tennessee and a Prairie...both lifers.
oh Susan..I love love these photos..the sparkles..your daughter and the spider..the blue butterfly on finger..the rounded branch with the leaf in the middle..and sparkles
what a wonderful eye you have!
