i spy
actually
it was
toonman
who spied the robin
i was crouched
waiting
for some sparrows
to return to a puddle
they'd flown from
as we approached
no
they never returned
a dog walking past
straining on his leash
scared them off
when
i did
finally
see it
i swear
it
saw
me
we made eye contact
i slowly
ever
so
slowly
moved
closer to the fence
he hopped
closer
to that box
up on the box
he hopped
down lower
to the ground
i knelt
we kept eye contact
i lifted my camera
snapped
he waited
another
nano second
then
flew off
i got up
we went on with our wander
down to the river walk
then
back up to the park
and
home
i got some really vibrant fall foliage shots
so few trees
here
turn with the season
it was such a nice day
i almost
wish
it would stay like this longer
