Spring evening

[corvideye]

Things I enjoyed on my walk from work:

breeze shaking all the shining leaves and whisking small clouds by overhead

fuzzy Canada goslings trying to yank grass in their parents' business-like manner

St. John's wort vigorously sprouting in the toxic gravel next to an old gas station

Violet-green swallows swooping and singing over the weedy empty lots, their white bellies flashing

red-headed house finch chirping melodiously while perched on a strand of barbed wire

i have been loving the western tanagers with their bright yellow plumage and red heads nesting in the trees outside the windows at work.

i have been inhaling deeply the sweet smelling breezes when i leave for the day.

ah... Spring....

There have been western tanagers in our yard too. Such striking colors!
