Osprey nest still on lighthouse, and light always lit:

(Haven't seen 'my' osprey since Saturday.)

1. Maybe Mother Nature said "Time for you to fly."

I'll miss them!

Beautiful pix!

Something Told the Wild Geese

Something told the wild geese
It was time to go.
Though the fields lay golden
Something whispered,—‘Snow.’
Leaves were green and stirring,
Berries, luster-glossed,
But beneath warm feathers
Something cautioned,—‘Frost.’
All the sagging orchards
Steamed with amber spice,
But each wild breast stiffened
At remembered ice.
Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly,—
Summer sun was on their wings,
Winter in their cry.

3. So beautiful!

Ty!

I adore Canadian Geese!

Imagine if humans lived with such integrity... And in such concert with Nature!
