Morning Delight

Saturday I was relaxing in the hot tub enjoying the quiet gray around me. The cloud covering seemed almost iridescent with the shining sun trying to melt it away. So high up as to seem ethereal was a triangle of birds. Geese, I thought as I listened for the familiar HONK!. The sound was not quite right, more of a bugle. I looked again at the gray birds flying overhead. Their necks were beautifully long, their wings slender and graceful. Swans. What a delight!
