Lovely, brisk morning.

Fog beyond the swamp will burn

off with the warm sun.

Autumnal morning —
four (four!) green heron perched on
thin limbs in the swamp.

The geese honk and fuss
about the swamp this morning.
Sounds and smells like fall.

Just did my swamp walk —
red-winged blackbirds, geese pairs, and
mallards were surprised.

Took a walk today
near pale fields and and colored trees
and geese in the swamp.

Turkey in a tree
calls to the geese down below —
fun morning swamp walk.

Tree across the trail —
a sign of busy beavers
working through the night.

Mist on the water
swirls and shifts revealing the
lovely swamp out back.

Cold swamp walk at dawn —
six geese standing on the ice
past the beaver lodge.

Skim of ice clings to
the bayou shore; some trees sport
a frozen apron.
