Resume the Commute


 Enjoying my third commute post car ownership.  I need to be out 2hrs earlier,  but then the pressure lifts, I am free to ride.  
The scene by the train station. The creek is working, in the drizzle the low clouds form an acoustic dome for rosella, blue wren, duck and the seasonal kohl bird calls. Below them the out of rhythm beat of frogs.
