Marsh grass hides clamor
of peepers singing spring.
Salamanders scrape fleshy
fins on glacial rock, sprinting
to water. A mink came once,
noisy, entitled, predatory
until swans extended bony
wings and honked him away.

I looked through your blog and was impressed with all the photos and topics. Well done, well organized, and informative. I live in Colorado, land locked, so I have different weather here. Lots of snow, but little humidity. I grew up in Maryland, so your blogged was a good reminder of the benefits of living near the water.

Thank you for taking the time to stop and look. Landlocked in Colorado, but oh, those mountains and life among them! I know Maryland a little, having worked in Washington briefly, so water is probably a bit in your soul. Nice to meet you. Love the header photo you have on your blog, absolutely gorgeous.

I have never seen a mink.

I barely saw it the day it happened, but there sure was a lot of splashing and quick glimpses of brown. Its coat looked more like a seal, except it was much too small for that.
