I felt compelled to take this, the wetness of the stone, and the cloud shadows.

While our Canadian Geese friends don't have the beautiful color of other birds, I do find them to be graceful, at times. This was one of those times, preening, the goose was very relaxed and contented.

While a cat on the counter is not a normal thing here,( after the 50th time of putting her down I might add ) Mary McDhui decided today she would help me. I was getting some items lined up for dinner. She decided to clear the counter and this shows how really bored we are.

The Peace Of Wild Things - Wendell Berry | p.1968

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
