The region appeared to be smiling

Like drops of rain
a birds sweet trill
softly stirs the morning air

Note by note
this mountain flute
seems to introduce the rest

and as the night drifts away
from all around
an orchestra of sound
fills the sweet morning air

Ornais and Dooneys Gate, Knut the Polar Bear, Paul the Octopus and Keiko the Icelandic Orca

Just a few of the animals, sea creatures in our care, famous and no longer here. Keiko went home and swam 1000 miles to a Norwegian fjord and joined wild whales where he was cared for but was free to come and go of his own choice. http://www.keiko.com/history.html
