and back in the pond.
I've been trying for several weeks to get a photograph of the widgeon that are so common here. I know where to hike to find them - and they were all a long way off the shoreline the day I went out. They're often mixed in with the coot and the mallards - but none close enough to get a good photo. Finally...today...and I couldn't even tell who I had in the viewfinder until I got home and put it up on the computer. There were at least twelve to fourteen on the pond, all of whom scattered when I appeared. Then this pair returned, circling the pond several times before finally deciding I was harmless and landing. I wonder if they already have a nest in the reeds on the bank. 'Tis the season.
There was time in the garden this afternoon, followed by the walk into yet another gorgeous sunset. (Primarily golds, this evening.) I came back home just as my husband pulled up in his car, returning from work. Our meetings at the end of the day are inevitably the highlight of my day...so much love, just walking in the door.
