Wenham Woods

Wenham woods. A pair of snakes, black water snakes and their little one coiled up beneath some dead leaves by the water's edge. I watched their inactivity for some time. Then another high point: a great egret keeping pace with me as I bicycled along gull pond. Finally, just having the strong April light bringing even the drab gray of the trees to a kind of color that reflects off the still water intermingled with hillocks of marsh grass. Can't ask for more gifts on a ride than that.
