The lake was of fantom blue
The winds blowing in from the south,
just enough breeze to keep you cool
We saw the beaver swimming through
A first for us
Was it looking for food or a way home
I found a turtle, stuck in the rocks, it was upside down
I pulled it loose, as it was still alive
So, I gently put it back into the water
To see it gradually swim away
The Canadian geese cackling, as they lay nesting
The ducks were flocking and paddling on the water
Barn swallows making their nests, under the bridge
Flying every direction given
The fish as they jumped up from the waters to grab a bug or three
Also giving us our bounty, with a fish or two
As we packed up to head home, we started our drive
Watching the cattle graze in the wild grasses of the reserves
The rooster pheasants feeding as we drive past them
Also, the deer eating the young grass, as we drove by
The sun was high in the sky
With the gentle breezes
Fish in the cooler
Plus, good company
Making for a perfect day
For us both to enjoy...
