This warm day in October

There are Wooly Bears and

Paper wasps everywhere

Yellow Legs and Tree Swallows

Murmuring

So many Blue Heron

in one place

I’m compelled 

To point them out

I’ll write it

A kayak trip

Through the marsh

Hunting the best

Photographic subjects

The expensive camera

       My expensive camera

In a ten year old's hands

What was I thinking?

The red knot in my throat

Wants to know

It all works out

He takes a few shots

Anyone would be proud of

And we talk

About things we like

That which we don’t

What we’ll do next

Time

We see Wooly Bears

And Paper Wasps everywhere
