Great and Small

Living in the country has reams of benefits, one of which is abundant wildlife every time I look out of the window.

1.  The Baltimore oriole that trills daily in the cherry tree, a welcome sizzle in the cool green.

A nice balance for that sizzle.






The spider in the carport, who doggedly builds a new web each time my head accidentally tears the previous one down.

Annie took this picture.  I quite like it.

And the Abominable Elephant-Ear-quatch, who is convinced that her natural trappings hide her from my sharp hunter's eye.
