Mornings Like This

make me happy.

1.  A student and I rescued a turtle from certain squishing on South Carolina and Florida.
2.  Viewed from under the tree canopy shading the Lady's Slippers, I saw the lake open like a turquoise geode.
3.  A millipede lay in a sun pocket.
4.  My first-ever Green Heron glided out of a tree at my elbow and sailed across the lake, and I long admired the bird's beauty.
5.  Dragonflies fluttered and buzzed around me like cards on bicycle spokes and clung to my jacket and cap.
6.  Blackberry flowers strutted their stuff.
7.  Blue Corporals and Fragile Forktails posed like Playboy models, spread out on impossibly green leaves. 

Today, I loved my life.
