Winter Wandering
It's a busy morning at the birdfeeder.
Cardinals, Blue Jays, Chickadees, Downy & Yellow-Bellied Woodpeckers- a whole lot of Field Sparrows, larger than usual, and in the most vibrant brown stripes I think I've seen in nature...

Stop For Pedestrians
I am usually helping older folks across my busy street. This was a big burly tattoo & piercings man, but with a daughter in tow, he wasn’t acting the fearless force of nature these sorts tend towards, but the bear had a cub. They were off the curb, in the sidewalk properly, but not moving forward. Cars sped by without slowing. I GET SO MAD! ( Read more... ) -
babytalk
Remembering how good it felt to be talked to as a human when I was a wee thing, I talk nonsense noises only to animals.
There was one time, I was sitting in a park with some friend's cousin, and her baby. I was sorta playing with the baby, showing him picnic table debris (sticks, leaves) and explaining about what they were, where they came from, ( Read more... )
