[Lady Jag]

On a Forenoon of Spring
by William Allingham

I'm glad I am alive, to see and feel
The full deliciousness of this bright day,
That's like a heart with nothing to conceal;
The young leaves scarcely trembling; the blue-grey
Rimming the cloudless ether far away;
Brairds, hedges, shadows; mountains that reveal
Soft sapphire; this great floor of polished steel
Spread out amidst the landmarks of the bay.

I stoop in sunshine to our circling net
From the black gunwale; tend these milky kine
Up their rough path; sit by yon cottage-door
Plying the diligent thread; take wings and soar--
O hark how with the season's laureate
Joy culminates in song! If such a song were mine!

"alfa, do you have a shot of a PBY5A Catalina?"

Go to my profile page and scroll down. I have a picture of an old PBY flown by the Alaska-Coastal Ellis Airlines that served Southeastern Alaska for many, many years. They also flew lots of Grumman Gooses and smaller craft.

"It's probably just not my style, OTOH, us Canadians really are a bit different..."

Re: your picture...Gads! They do that in Canada too, eh? ;O) I don't see the bug spray can...

LOL!

Today is the first day I was bothered by bugs, and it was hungry honey bees.

Our mosquitoes and black flys won't be out for another week or too at least.
