Swifts playing

Posted by thecatcanwait on August 1, 2008

Many delightful “little” happenings take place in the garden. All by themselves. Nature at “play” so to speak.

All you have to do is keep paying attention.

We were watching (from the hammock) a dozen or so tiny swifts lined up in a row on the electricity (high) wire; one by one on cue they dived off like little kids into the pools of air, splashing about with the wind as if it were water. I tried taking pics, but too late – they’d finished, were done, already gone.

So no pictures to show (you)

Their “show” only lasted about 10 minutes.

You could have easily missed it.

Being busy. Or preoccupied. Or not bothered.

To quietly marvel at it all.
