Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The sun warms instead of sears me, the air feels lighter, and the temps draw me outside to be.
Early this morning, walking the Wonder Dog on a dirt road, I heard the sounds of fall above me. Stopping to get a bead on the location of the honking, I scanned a perfect deep blue sky and waited.
There they came.
Spread in their trademark V just in front and above me, they flew low enough I could see the neck rings and the tonal 
separations. Saw the leader flapping away and saw for the first time how mathematical their degree of separation is from each other.
Then the gift. As one, they tilted just enough so the early morning light caught their bellies and burnished them gold.
Startled. Pleased. Smiling.
Hope your day overflows with serendipity.
I loved this Kathleen, and even pictures. keen observation. sure made me want to be there. I can hear them honking.
I too love fall. I want to be out in it.
hugs
Yes, indeed. The pictures aren’t mine. I was too entranced to shoot….photos.
While driving one Spring morning, classical music playing on the radio, I witnessed two pelicans in flight. I pulled to the side of the road and watched in awe as they performed their ‘ballet’ above in near perfect rhythm to the music. It was a magical, lump in the throat experience. Treasures and gifts abound…thanks for sharing yours.
How wonderful. Thanks, Shar.
