In Life there is Death

 

In Death there is Life

Narrow sparrow escape!

I KNOW you're in there!

 

Come out, come out wherever you are!

Well!  I wasn't THAT hungry anyway!

All photos taken by B. Fontana in her yard and used with many thanks! 

What a beautiful afternoon!

I was going to put some color on my hair today, but it was so gorgeous that I decided to go outside and see what I could photograph. You can see from the thermometer above how warm it was. I was out for about an hour when I heard the scream of a hawk. I took some photos and wished I had a digital camera with a good zoom lens.

I'm always surprised when I take the photos off my camera - I never think I've taken so many shots! Today, the count was 125!! You'll be seeing more of them in the next few days...

I cropped both of these so that you can see, at least, the outline of the beautiful bird. Now that the leaves are falling, we'll be seeing more of the hawks - it's much easier for them to hunt when the trees are bare! Click on any of the images to enlarge them.
