An Osprey Circles

An osprey circles
Hoping I will find a fish for him
A beaver slaps its tail
Yodels to its young
Turtles lounge in the sun
As Swans and Geese negotiate
A doe and fawn cautiously 
Observe my passing
A blue Heron appears
Undisturbed by my presence
Soft breezes tickle the lily pads
As the Dragonflies dance

Hello John, you beautifully captured the quietness of nature’s everyday moments. I love how each creature feels alive and connected, from the osprey’s hopeful circling to the dragonflies’ delicate dance. Such a gentle invitation to slow down and truly see the world around us. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

I love what's being served as Soup. The vast majority here write from the heart. We saw ospreys in Florida. Boy they build huge nests. Saw herons and egrets too. Even a peacock running around which blew my mind

Back to nature and among the wildlings. Sounds much more serene than being in the soup nowadays where what's being served is indigestible. Ok... I'll turn and walk away to find my own tranquil space. ;-)
