to my walk.
Where the Cherry Blossoms were blooming
and the bees were buzzing
and the White Tails were roaming
and the Red-bellied Woodpecker was building
and the Common Grackle was stealing
and the Peacock was roosting
and the Black Swan was grooming
and the Green Heron was profiling
and the Redhead (diving duck) was cruising
and the Raccoon was picnicking (albeit rudely)
where the Beaver was waving
and the turtles were sunning (one's an albino)
and the sky was beautiful
where even the Black Crowned Crane made an appearance
and the Great White Egret reigned supreme.
Come walk with me

Shortly after 7 A.M.
I was outside with my doggies and saw a great mass of birds in the sky. The flock landed in a tree several houses down and I knew what they were. The Cedar Waxwings have been rather elusive this year, choosing to feed from berry shrubs other than my own. I grabbed my camera and in my flip-flops I walked through the cold, wet grass in hopes of getting close enough to snag a few photos.
I didn't want to get too close and cause them to fly away. Against the backdrop of a still rising sun I was able to get a few shots before they took off again.
