squawks

and then suddenly

one day

it seems that there are

magpies

everywhere....

as they fly...

or, sit perched on neighbouring

concrete garbage bins

outside

Catch of the Week

a pair of crows

sussing out the takings

the leavings

vis a vis

what

have 

you

(or what you had and then tossed away)

today is...

international

whale shark day

gentle giants

of

the

sea 

wings at rest

today on the back patio

a fallen one

closed eyes to the skies

soar in spirit

little

little

bird

today's meet up

one tiny mouse

on the driveway

still

still

still

until

lifting the garage door up

then bolting

...

race on little one

find a quiet

safe

space

rays

and then (finally) 

the sun comes out

and you think:

'okay...maybe i can 

park the ark

at least

for

today' 

today in the sunshine

yellow wings

flittering here

and

there

a lovely

golden

butterfly
