ducks, beaver kits, swans and crocus week (3/52)
the quiet stillness of swaths of brown, beige and grey
are broken with sudden appearances of rich purples
deep greens and dashes of yellow as the land awakens
on the water the soft chatter and splashes of beaver kits playing
are overrun by squawking, honking and beating wings as ducks,
geese and mute swans vie for mates and nesting sites
the turmoil passes as quickly as a fast moving thunderstorm
as a feather floats by on the smooth, still surface of the lake
