Slightly off

[vaneramos]

I remember swans flying over a wet, black field at eye level. Must have been a dream, because it didn't happen. Maybe it's a nudge from my self-conscious to drive to Long Point and see the real tundra swans, or follow any of numerous migratory bird notices landing in my inbox from Ontbirds.

Not today. Figures I would feel crappy on the first genuine spring day. My friends barely made it out the door last night before, whoosh, everything I had eaten yesterday came pouring out the bottom. Something disagreed with my stomach.

Today I feel gross only because I neglected to rehydrate and, in my way, continue forgetting. I went out to meet J at The Bookshelf and finally drank two glasses of water and some black currant juice, which reduced the headache.

It would be a perfect day for a long walk, but this weather is supposed to continue into tomorrow, so hopefully my flesh will grow more willing.

R just called from Toronto. He sounded lonely and has tomorrow off, so I invited him out for the night. Guess I better get myself in gear. Good thing I've been catching up on housework the past couple days.

Wonderful photo. (Of course you knew I'd like it.) Hope you feel better.

I thought you might be first to figure out my quiz the other day:

Actually, I think the solution had been posted by the time I saw it, but I don't think I would have gotten it anyway.

That is a wonderful compliment, thank you. I always hope others will see what I see in these odd things. I like how the photo reveals the slight turbulence downstream (to the right) of the submerged stump. Such subtleties I've never been able to photograph until now.

My gut certainly asserts itself sometimes, but I'm feeling better this evening. Thanks, Vicki.
