A hawk hovering in our yard, waiting to scoop up dinner in the form of a chipmunk.
Squirrel stopping for a snack on the steps.
I am inside, writing my words, my mind half in and half out of the window.
Life and writing, serious and humorous, old and young, past and present: it's all part of the fabric.
“Maybe we’re here only to say: house, bridge, well, gate, jug, olive-tree, window--at most, pillar, tower--but to say them, remember, oh! to say them in a way that the things themselves never dreamed of so intensely.” --Rilke
I am inside watching the birds flock to the feeders in the falling snow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining about the vignette tool in iPhoto. I will ask my son if I can try it on his Mac sometime - and look for something similar in PhotoShop.
It looks a little chilly....willy. Bet your words were warm.
ReplyDeletehalf in this world, half in the world of your imagination. i hope the hawk didn't eat one of the chipmunks you know personally.
ReplyDeleteWith all that activity out your window, I'm not surprised about the half in/half out business!
ReplyDeleteSo cute critter, adorable pictures!

One day this summer I watched as several birds dove at a young hawk hanging around the feeders outside my kitchen window. Despite their persistence, he refused to leave. The purpose of his presence became obvious when he plunged into the Bridal Wreath Shrub nearby and like a flash reappeared with a small bird dangling from his beak.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know a squirrel could make such a mess with a single walnut.
I'd like to have such a view, and such lovely visitors! But I'm not sure I could work instead of dreaming...
