It’s been a busy spring,

this is the first time all years I’ve found time out with the setting sun.

I was early, so watched the birds come home to the lakes and the goslings playing on the shore and in the shallows.

Eventually, the light started to drop and venus popped out of the blue,

then mars, then stars, then constellations.

The water was completely still, mirroring the sky amazingly.

The sound of settling geese filling the air.

It was long overdue.
