Waiting on spring - a photo on Flickriver

Waiting on spring

            It’s not even Thanksgiving and I am already counting the days until spring!

I remember watching the movie Endless Summer (1966) about a couple of surfers who travel the world following summer as to surf in warm weather and water. I was young and it made me realize that it could be done if one had the means. I certainly understand the desire to depart the cold and find myself relating more and more to the snow bird culture…of what I use to consider the old folks.

Here is an archived shot of a Tree swallow. An easily photographed subject except when in flight. I have always assumed that they allow people to get close because they know just how aerobatic they can fly.

Photo taken at Patoka Lake State Park, 19 April, 2016.
