definitely has it's advantages unless you're
on the short end of the branch. You can almost
hear the caw, caw, caw, caw of the early rising
Raven as he got slapped in the face by a tree branch!
It was my intention to walk the edge of our
community, next to the desert, to enjoy the early
morning shadows, but someone beat me to it.
As I snapped this shot with my iPhone, Mr Coyote let
me know who the fence walker was going to be
this morning and it wasn't me!!!
So I headed for safer ground and decided I was
brave enough to creep up on these bunnies. The objective
to get 4 or 5 close-up shots without scaring them away.
As I crept up closer & closer & closer my 5th shot showed that
the leader of the "Bunny Broad Meeting" was being ignored
by fellow participants, which reminded me of another
similar occurrence when we lived in Colfax CA.
Many early mornings (and late evenings) the acorn woodpeckers
would gather at the bird bath out front.
Don or I would fondly call to each other "the Board is meeting
again", so the other one of us would not miss out.
That got me interested in types of woodpeckers,
so over the years I have created Mosaic versions of
a variety of different woodpeckers
and gave them to family and friends to hang
in trees or on barn doors... or wherever.
My mosaic woodpecker, here in AZ, keeps a close eye
on the early morning antics of marching mosaic ants
on our wooden front window ledge... somebody's got to do it!!!
Well, as you can see, this blog developed a mind of it's own
and took off in all directions... could be a result
of getting up too early.
