Show-off tree
For some unknown reason—perhaps it had something to do with the chilly, overcast skies—the local Tree Swallows that have been working the surface of the local farm pond decided that a labor slow-down was in order. Perhaps there was a dearth of insects rising out of the pond's surface, or maybe the birds were inclined to conserve energy for a change. Whatever the reason, the swallows stopped flying and settled onto the branches of a small tree by the water's edge. They displayed their handsome colors, squabbled just a tiny bit, and took a break from aerial toil. You can't work all the time.
