Otterland

TB Trail with gorgeous sky,
California Scrub Jay, and Western Blue Bird,
Just another glorious blue day.

Sparkles in the grass,
Roaming, munching, cows and calves,
Just another glorious blue day.

Tomales reflections,
And ponds, and puddles, and creeks, and streams,
Just another glorious blue day.

Couches, and slides,
Spraints of fish, and musky smell,
Better than just another glorious blue day.

Swirling mist, barely floating past,
Otter cruising Nicasio’s still, and silvery glaze,
Not just another glorious blue day.

Ravens, Crows, begging Blackbirds,
Resting, dabbling, Coots, Mallards, and Grebes,
Just another glorious blue day.
