Such wonderful show and tell. First, your writing! Inspiring. I could “see” the beaver performing its tail kick stroke. I wondered if beavers perform that stroke with their tails “pitched?” Like a canoe paddle? Maybe a YouTube rabbit hole will provide an answer?

Then, The Bird Dog Move, so smoothly executed. My brain wanted to shout, “Flossing!” I considered the “cross floss” effect from alternating the arms to accompany the same leg? (When I don’t really know what’s going on, I devise a plausible depiction :-)

Question: Is today Gratitude Day but I didn’t get the memo? Why do I ask? Early this morning I read a post from a woman writer/creator who lives on Orkney Island. Way, way north in Northern Ireland. Despite winter weather that chills me just to read her descriptions, and winter storm after winter storm that she animates with her precise wording as wild, angry forces demanding recognition and respect, she today shared a video she shot to depict water in all aspects of our existence. With a tone of gratitude. Of course Elaine and Gail’s offering today put the spotlight on fascination coupled with gratitude.

Without any hesitation I’ll say you served magnificently as the starter’s alert and the pace setter for those who

rose from bed early enough to accompany you on your run. Well done. Very well done.
