Pie In The Sky

Beautiful morning in Essex. The red admirals, wasps and hornets were all over the grape vine in the sunshine early. I found this magpie feather on the drive and held it up to the sky. Wonderful iridescence on the plumage of a bird that looks black and white. I thought the pie part of the name referred to the pied plumage but it doesn't.

Today's poem is Evening by Rainer Maria Rilke. https://allpoetry.com/poem/8505767-Evening-by-Rainer-Maria-Rilke

I love the first two lines of this. :)
