Camera Critters aim high.

Realizing, of course, that the sky wasn't quite so blue, I loved watching this adult and young raven on the very top of the tree. Ravens are one of my favorite birds and this time of year with their activity level high, raising the fledgling, protecting the nest from hawks and eating roadkill, all makes for an entertaining time for those of us with feet planted firmly on the ground.

To see more Camera Critters, or join in the fun, see Misty Dawn. . .and Happy Monday too!

Serendipity in unlikely places

Silhouetted flight feathers
Black fingers spread and tilt

Bowing, burnished satin sweeps the parquet
Glowing embers light her face






Cream smooth raven’s updraft
Icy air whistles
Threatening the sky.

Resined palms applaud
Powder flies off bows
Her voice is still.
