One early spring morning, looking out the rear kitchen window over the marsh toward the river, I noted something white there in the grasses. The 'something white' was there with a gaggle of geese, said geese having recently started to return to their summer area. And all at once I knew what the white thing was. A goose!

I love this picture of you! Where was it taken?

Well, thank you! It (and a bunch of others) was taken at UW Campus. This was an awesome willow sculpture with "rooms" inside of it. Nooks and crannies. Birds nested on top of it! Linda and I went inside often, hung out near it. It wasn't meant to last, and unfortunately, after about 13-14 months, it started to fall about, and then they took it away. I was so sad that it was gone. I'll send you some photos of it (and me) when I return from Nebraska on Monday.
