Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Day 277: Necklace of Birds

During my final length in the [super-cold!] CAC pool this morning, I was doing the inverted breaststroke on my back and noticed a series of V-shaped white clusters gliding through the periwinkle-blue sky.  I realized that these white dots were actually birds flying together, and they continued in the V formations but subtly shifted and exchanged positions as they glided onward.

These morning birds in mid-flight looked like delicate necklaces of white beads as they moved and flowed, and eventually they disappeared behind the office building in the neighboring block as I reached the end of the pool.
