Because yes, gentle reader, I am posting this in actuality only one day after the fact.
Went on a wonderful walk in the evening while S. had Chamber Orchestra rehearsal. Saw a beautiful hawk, egret, horses, cows.
The timing for the hawk - which flew right in front of me, a snake dangling from its talons - could not be better. I am currently listening to the magnificent H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. It's a fabulous book, and makes me wish all over again that I could be a falconer, even while it makes me grieve my parents (mom, dad and birth mom) and yearn to be a writer half as good as Macdonald is.
Here are a couple of pictures from the walk:
I will post a video next - but not now, as I must go to bed!
