Two green-winged teal

 


August 29. 



Saw two green-winged teal, somewhat pigeon-like, on a flat low rock in the Assabet.


H. D. Thoreau, Journal, August 29, 1855

"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
