Oh my sweet friend, how did I ever see you tucked down on the creek rocks? The bridge railings a most excellent invisibility cloak. And your patience to let me take so many  photos with the excitement shaking my hands even more than normal. Of all your poses this one will not leave me. What were you thinking? Or not. To know such sweet stillness. ….. and then the whisper.

Sweet little one, so many thoughts, questions, and ponderings. A gift they are. But let them never eclipse the moment’s essence….

I bow my head and place my hands to my heart. Message received.

Gratitude.
