I like to notice the world around me,
bees nuzzling sunflowers,
thunderstorms being built in the sky,
rain pelting down or in a mist,
glorious sunsets on the prairies,
colourful tiny bird houses in a tree,
snow settling soft and gentle,
wind raking through the trees
prairie flowers bright, small and delicate
but today I saw new sight:
three geese on an ordinary city sidewalk.
not Canada geese but
squat, waddling, brash and bossy
geese with insistent honking that rivalled
their much larger cousins.
No pausing for a photo op either!
Upon inquiry:
“they are from a goose farm!”
“You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter
of noticing things and organizing them.”
