My eye looks bloody –
blood vessel popped and my kids
shiver when they look.

In the future, I
might just up and leave if friends
text while we’re talking.

It’s raining buckets –
sleeping in a canal boat
is water camping.

Ducklings scrambled for
shelter ‘neath some tree branches –
canal boat scared them.

Going through a lock –
odd, timeless experience –
Erie Canal fun.

A blackbird harassed
a red-tailed hawk ’til it flew
high into the sky.

Great Blue Heron sits –
watches, waits, one foot held up –
will he catch his meal?
