Bold and Gold

What a day!  What a delightful, autumn day!
Biking through the Bosque
Stopping to take in the wonder of it all...
The z-z-z-z's of Zicadas (poetic license :-)
Carried on a perfect breeze who
Choreographed into a group shimmy, the Quaking Cottonwoods 
(like Aspens, members of the Populus families)
Sunlight shimmering on the river's edge...
While off in the distance a solitary guttural call 
Echoed deep in my soul
Signaling the imminent arrival of the Sandhill Cranes.
