For the people who travel-to and walk-in natural places and spaces in Rural Nebraska, they may witness nature unfolding. I want to share a nature event that my sister and I experienced in late March 2023. See the poem below and photo by Don Brockmeier, a nature photographer from Eustis, Nebraska. Look up Don Brockmeier on Instagram for more images of nature unfolding.
A crazy day to bird watch! Nebraska winds blast at 50 mph!
On the south shore of Plum Creek Lake in our search for birds, we turn the curve on a dirt road and
Brake to take-in the sight of pelicans floating on the calm cove
Navy blue water, powder puff clouds in a washed-out denim sky
And a legion of white pelicans,
Holding in a geometric pattern of white on navy like stars on the flag
How do they do it? quiet birds, calm, each keeping its space, paddling in place
And no squabbling, no pelican whining, no wing beating
Peace bathed the earth as nature unfolded
Dedicated to my sister, Nancy
