Once More to the Meadow

Todd and I took a break from writing,

spent a lovely afternoon at Great Meadow in Concord, MA. 

Saw lots of our old friends the red-winged blackbirds.

Saw snakes a plenty.

Frogs, too.

Saw more snakes.

Saw geese on the wing over the Concord River.

And the best--saw a great blue heron.

He saw us, too, and let us watch him fishing.

Here he is scaring off a blackbird.

Frogs went a-leaping, fish went a-swimming . . .

but the mighty heron found plenty of food.

The longer we walked, the less I could tell water from sky.  

That's when you know it's been a good day.
