Then All At Once I Saw A Crowd...

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

~William Wordsworth, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," 1804

Flying Colors

Flying Color! Color! Color! Cool Morning Breeze and Palpable Adrenaline!

What a way to start a day!

The early evening heat and lack of water convinced me that it was acceptable to walk my bike at least a few yards up a steep hill last night. There's a reason for everything, and because I'd slowed down I was able to notice two fawns in the grass. Their mother was nowhere in sight. They observed me for awhile and then apparently satisfied that I was harmless started to play little fawn games - prancing around and dancing in the meadow.

I went back today to the area where I'd seen them. Yes, they were still there - intermittently content and resting and then suddenly up and playing again. They are well developed and alert; it is evident that they are cared for - their mother must be near.....although I do wonder where she spends her days. What is she doing? Out shopping......?
