It is great to once again have daylight lingering in the sky on the ride home after work. Not just because riding home in total darkness saps me of energy, but because there are so many things I miss seeing when I'm driving home through an endless tunnel.
Tonight for instance, there was enough light for me to see what looked like a blizzard of ticker tape falling from the sky.
The absence of tall buildings pretty much ruled out an unexpected parade. So what was falling from the sky?
Driving at fifty miles per hour, it didn't take long to get close enough to discern that hundreds, possibly thousands, of snow geese were descending on a nearby field. The field itself looked to be covered in a foot of snow, so tightly packed were the geese that had already landed.
Had it been warm enough to have the car windows open, I'm sure the cacophonous honking would have been deafening.
Witnessing such events are the little pleasures that make the ride home so much more relaxing.
