Haiku of very local wilderness
You all outdid yourselves last week! So much good stuff.
Christine brought the drama:
Perched on a branch
Hawk surveys the bird feeder
um, perhaps a snack
Nary a bird seen
as wee ones alert others
shelter in the shrubs
While we had two good anonymous entries:
Big bird in my yard
Nicknamed the "Quaranturkey"
Really a peahen!
And a great one from Gavin:
Tracks in the fresh snow
Show me the world that exists
At night while I sleep.
IPLawGuy chimed in from snowy Virginia:
Dog walks late at night
We don't always see the fox
But the dog senses him
Desiree got this theme (as one would expect):
Crying like a babe.
Foxes on the prowl for mates
during mid-winter.
Our dogs go out in
pairs at night, so the little
pup ain't coyote snack.
And we were graced with a visit from TallTenor, in not-snowy but somewhat scary Texas:
We live in their space.
No wonder they come inside
And wreck my garage.
