Lovely, kat. And SINS, "Good morning, ladies." And Pete, a pair of swans drifting by, and described as sheer poetry.... And Kendall's chickadees in hand...All bring smiles to the heart.
The other day I was in the car, waiting for the light to change. Directly in front of me, (and up a few feet, of course) a large Raven was perched contentedly on the extension of horizontal beam of the light post, just above the light. He watched, cocking his head and seemingly amused, as his Raven buddy tiptoed cautiously across the beam, like a child on a high-dive, to join his friend at his post. I couldn't help but be amused myself, wondering why he chose that method as opposed to flying.
