Birds

Did I show you our great bird feeder? Picked it up from our friends at Wild Birds Unlimited in Denver. It is heavy, so it is stable, and it is in pieces so it disassembles and travels in a bin in the basement of the motorhome.
It’s just right.

There is no picture I can take to capture the scope of the scenery that surrounds us, it is so vast. The new moon has set, but I can’t take a picture of the milky way stretching from horizon to horizon. I can take a picture of the deer wandering through the campground, but you can’t see the fawns hurrying to catch up with Mom. You can’t hear the kingfisher rattle its way downriver, the scrub jay and steller’s jay in a calling battle, or see the water still dripping from the fish in the talons of the osprey. You can’t see the face of the chipmunk swelled to twice its normal size with the seeds from our feeder that were meant for the birds. I can take a snapshot, but you have to multiply its impact by a hundred.
