the Spillway
This one is for Brian, who is in National Guard Basic Training in South Carolina. A postcard from home on a hot June day. The dam has just been repaired, there is lots of run-off from recent heavy rain and the water is swift and cold at the moment.
Somewhere up in the willows along the creek, a warbling vireo was warning the local caterpillar crowd... " If I sees you, I will seize you; And I'll squeeze you till you squirt" I wonder who was the first listener to decipher vireo-speak into English!
