Plover at Slough

I saw this delightful Plover down along the river bank...it was quite a distance away and I thought it was a wee quail. But after I got home I realized it was a summer Plover! So cool as I'd not seen them there before.

Liked this excerpt from Mary Oliver's poem "Patience"

"There wasn't
time enough for all the wonderful things
I could think of to do

in a single day. Patience
comes to the bones
before it takes root in the heart"

very true:)
