all around

We walked at Jackman Wetlands this morning. There wasn't a soul in sight. We were as socially distant as could be.
I am recovering from a fall; one of those dreadful stop, drop and rolls that can catch you unaware. A slow walk in the restorative sunshine and breeze seemed medicinal.
The Wetlands were full of wings. Mallard, teal, goose, merganser, junco, bald eagle, sparrow, towhee, coot, bufflehead, flicker, robin, canvasback and crow. Of course crow.
A garter snake magically appeared out of thin air on the path ahead and melted out of sight. Snakes are not very sociable. Nor was the second snake we saw further along. Although it did lift its head and look us over with bright bead black eyes and flickering tongue.
The sun was warm.
The path gentle.
The voice of birds all around.
