Day 100 - a Year by the Sea
April 10, 2007 by OrientSee.
Surprises today. A couple of days ago I was talking about likely snake habitat. So today in my best lopsided, clumsy, bad hipped manner, I slid down a slope and pushed over some rocks by accident and what’s there but a garter snake. The snake was cold and didn’t wriggle away from as quickly as they do in warmer weather. I find them beautiful, black and gold.
Next surprise, I am walking down the path to MarshHenge (a wonderful semi-hidden observation platform at Bell Isle Marsh) and found a sheet of poetry by Petrarch, the Italian poet who had the hots for Laura and practically invented the sonnet. It makes me wonder who else is wandering out here besides me.
Best surprise! I saw an osprey on the platform at the T train yard!
| My heart in hiding | |
| Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing! |
That’s from The Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins who never got his due but who always does it for me.
Ciao!
