n English gardener, who takes a lot of photos, visits many places, listens to lots of music, reads a lot of books, who has wandered the earth but is currently dug in in Sacramento, California. On this blog: gardening and wildlife. Life in Northern California, and an archive of postings from Long Island's southern shore, amid the wetlands... restoring house and garden. And the most beautiful sunrises...

Early-morning walk
Canada geese with goslings. Canada geese without goslings. All talking to each other, feathered foghorns in the mist. A pair of young swans; they are not nesting and sleep in a different place each night, but they are a couple, the male making a heart of his wings. A cloud of tiny plovers scooping low over the still water. And two young deer, cropping reeds and grass. We stood quiet and watched them all, then retreated from the beach and left them to their morning.
