like this subtle ghost of the sun watching itself rise so brilliantly a few degrees to the east.

My friend calls the belted kingfish “NASCAR” for his speed when fishing
and the continuous laps he makes over his territory.

Almost as important as eyes looking down for fish,
is the osprey’s eyes sweeping upward, scanning for a marauding eagle.

This bluejay makes a bright blue splash against the green pine needles –
even though the bluejay’s feathers have no blue pigment…our eyes are fooled into seeing the bird as being blue.
