Simple Pleasures

Today while doing some yard work along the backyard pond... I see bird hovering, landing on rocks while singing a song. In rhythmic dancing it dove towards reflections upon the water, and continued to sing it's song. The local duck couple flew in from the sky, landing in the water just ahead of me. Later they would sit atop submerged rocks just to my right, relaxing and grooming themselves in a nice quiet moment. I gaze into the water and see golden orange lines arranged closely together. I appreciate being surrounded these wonderful creatures, sharing in their space.
