Yesterday I had two encounters with water wildlife:
~
Turtle crosses road
drawn to marsh on other side,
bold explorer
unaware of meteors
hurdling on collision path.
~
comes into focus—
young heron!
rare roadside sight
wings mutual surprise.

How dramatic the heron looks about to take wing – almost like a dragon! Perfectly captured.
