Rain makes ducks smile.
The handsome drake nearby may have something to do
with her blissful mood.
Rain just makes most of us crabby.

WET AND WILD
Yesterday morning I was standing on the canal bridge
near our house. You can see the blue roof of our porch in the upper left.
This was the view from the south side of the bridge.
The canal provides passage for irrigation water from the river
to farmland on the other side of town.
On the north side of the bridge debris was being cleared
to make way for the spring filling of the canal.
The water flows under the bridge…
…and on its way to give a drink to potato and hay fields when the weather
doesn’t cooperate. Once again our neighbors can tease us
about having waterfront property.
doesn’t cooperate. Once again our neighbors can tease us

As I walked passed the golf course I could see what I thought
was a dog running down the fairway.
Nope. A coyote on the way home from a night of hunting.
I’m guessing it is a momma on her way back
to feed a den of babies somewhere near the river.
She wasn’t slowed down by the sand trap.
On my way back home I noticed the canal was almost full.
It’s a good thing.
There are a lot of dirty birds in the neighborhood.
