moving

For painters moving, most items for packing are paintings.
For the close eye, how many porpoise can you see in the backyard?
For the past week and a half the critters have been heading south by the thousands. First were the pelicans soaring with their wing tips measuring the wave they were riding. The ducks and geese. Ducks with flickering wings just over the the waters surface further out from shore. The geese, higher and gliding the upper currents. All in their formations. Today it has been the porpoise, all day, the pods of 2 to twenty making their way by, down to warmer waters and air.
For all my friends in the NE, the cold has set in.
