snow geese redux

Last year at this time, the snow geese arrived by the hundreds. I haven’t seen (or heard) them yet this year, but yesterday, red-winged blackbirds and the funny silly grackles showed up at the feeder.

Spring inches her way towards us in a one step forward, two steps backwards kind of way, and the light fills my house and my heart.

I’ll be listening, each time I step outside, for the geese to arrive, a final cue for the changing of the guard.

Seasons shifting on the axis of birdsong.

Music to my ears.

It never ceases to amaze me how the birds know just when to show up.

Well, it’s beautiful and I was wondering if you would give me permission to use it as the basis for a watercolor painting?
