This Morning Outside

I've missed the bright song of the Baltimore oriole these last few weeks, since his nesting season ended. And his fiery colors. But this morning I heard him again, and there he is, in the oak tree. I'll see him for a few more days, or weeks at most, and then he'll be something to look forward to next April.
