One of Nature's Gift Surprises

This morning as I was going to church along the road that goes to Colza Corners, a beautiful ring-necked pheasant flew across the road just ahead of me.  It was a long graceful sweep, just  high enough to be above the car.  I joyed to see it.  I don't remember when I ever saw a pheasant in flight  It was glorious.

(I think I made up joyed, using joy as a verb, but it's what I did.)

    It was enjoyment, for sure. The male pheasant's colors are magnificent and their tail is long and tailored and the whole effect was graceful. I was so thankful that I got to see it this morning. And to think, there could be pheasants in that brush all the time when I'm going past there but I don't usually get to see them.
