my middle name, protector
Is what I’m about.

we love watching them.

Curve-billed Thrasher at Patio Bird Feeder Leave a comment
Curve-billed Thrasher at Patio Bird Feeder — Image by kenne
As I sit on our patio
watching birds land
in near-by mesquites
before flying to the
olive tree on the patio,
then gathering the nerve
to bolt to the bird feeders.
They are not pleased
that I sit on the patio
with a camera in hand.
Soon, the desire to eat
takes priority over fear.

Greet each man with words of love
And peace,
And a dove will be placed
On an olive tree.

Drought Resistant Leave a comment

Drought Resistant
Tomorrow early, I will go to the canyon
and take photos of the fall colors,
but today I am staying home
trying to stay warm without a fire
in the fireplace watching the birds
gathering at the feeder.
Last night I could hear a few raindrops
landing on the skylight knowing that
it won’t last, and it didn’t — this is the desert.
I am amazed how long desert plants
can survive without water, but then
that’s why they are called drought resistant.

This hawk was attracted by the doves below the bird feeder on the patio.
With a temperature of 103 degrees, might as well take a water break.

Cat In Mountain Cabin Window
Embraced by the morning sun
The cat sits in the window
Watching our every move as
We walk near the small cabin.
Appearing to be along,
She oversees the bird feeder
Mounted outside the window,
A sentry or a predator?
