Happy Hearts Day!


In honor of Valentine's Day I'm giving you a picture of a California creek with a Louisiana poem. The heron fishing in the creek and the author of the poem are dear to my heart.


Nature 101: The Rocky Branch

A clear stream flows in the swamp.
It meanders around cypress knees.
Mossy banks enclose it.
On the sandy shore beside it
I see a story in animal tracks.
A deer leaped across here.
A raccoon wandered down the creek.
I wonder what the coon was seeking.
A squirrel scampered up the bank.
And then a fox came by.
Too bad I wasn't here to witness this swamp tale, 
But I can see it in my mind's eye.
And the Rocky Branch just keeps on flowing.

Daydreaming
With Heart
