I love Great Blue Herons. We have a lot. I love them best in trees, because they still look strange to me in trees. They will perch right on the top of our tall Pacific Northwest trees and look like peculiar Christmas tree toppers. Alien angels. Their bones are lighter than ours, so they can stand on a limb that would not hold me or you.

Elwha is surreal today, in purple light.
Waiting for the ferry to Bainbridge, I am watching a man working on an I beam, with a cheerful yellow umbrella clamped to it. The old overpass is being taken down and a new ferry terminal is going up.
I am clearly back in the Pacific Northwest.
Taken on a visit to the Baltimore Aquarium a number of years ago. You would think it would be a fish, but it isn’t. Dolphins and whales sing, but do fish sing?
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: song.
sweep through the woods
sweep past the forest
the car winds along the road
we are warm inside
new broom sweep clean
new years starts again
old broom used and worn
old year illness torn
new broom brought to floor
new year contemplated
old broom set aside
old year must abide
new broom awkward feel
new year challenge real
old broom may have use
old year research truth

Hoppy Newt Oar, everyone, and hope and prayers for next year.
We keep running across boulders that we can’t bring home. Good thing, or my house would REALLY be cluttered. I only bring home rocks that I can fit in my reticule.
For today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt.
I hope that you feel loved, loved, loved.
They look pretty angelic at the moment, don’t they?
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: gift.
Beautiful, isn’t it? But it’s not a sunset. The recent storms have taken away more beach and there are tons of new rocks and debris thrown around.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: finally.
