Day 348 - a Year by the Sea

As the leaves have fallen, all kinds of nests have been revealed. This nest is in a willow tree in a much trafficked part of the park at Belle Isle. I have walked past it on an almost daily basis and never realized that it was there. For some reason, I looked up today and saw what I had not seen before. The clouds of obscurity parted and the mystery was revealed. It is surprising how much depends on lighting and chance. One day you see nothing, the next you see what had been hidden before. The little satisfactions of walking in the marsh.

Ciao!
