feed something

-

(for Dad, who knew how to conjure fun from thin air)

-

the ducks, always the ducks

sometimes squirrels

or pigeons

or gulls

sometimes swans

so graceful

with gentle beaks

with black feet

with mystical eyes

but the ducks

that's what i remember most

at lakes and ponds

at roadside stops

quacking and waddling

shaking their tail-feathers

always looking for a meal

“Two hundred years from now the numbers and kinds of species we observed here in the latter years of the 20th century may seem as unbelievable to future generations as the presence of passenger pigeons, cougars, wolves, and bison in Pennsylvania two hundred years ago seem to us.” — Marcia Bonta.

Still true in the 21st century. What we take for granted now may well be gone tomorrow. I’ve seen it happen. Document what you see!

I post this every year, but it never stops being relevant.

Chicory Along the Road

Traveling stretched the longest day, my road had grown drab and gray. Then I saw a figure with a coat blue, colored the deepest brightest hue. What did the loyal soldier have to guard? It was a ragged field, not a manicured yard. Such is the way of an old chicory weed. It grows where it can, ready for man's need. Maybe to add to coffee ala New Orleans, or give a weary traveler a beautiful scene. D W Eldred
