Of a Feather

Today,
The mockingbird explained
How not to be afraid.
The hawk
Soared high
When I asked for a sign.
The egret has shown
How to stand on my own.
And I never believed I could fly.

Til I died.

Picnics and Shit

Briley and I went to the LBL Nature Center today. Had a picnic and checked out all the animals. I normally don’t like seeing things in cages, but these were all rescues so I suppose it’s all right.

Bald Eagle.

Bobcat.

Turkey.

Red-Tailed Hawk (And I managed to sneak out one of his shed feathers).

Barn Owl.

All mine!
