First of the Year


Dawn Chorus this morning.

After a quick airing of the Jerk Russell Terrier (not my phrase, but so very fitting, second walkies of the morning) I walked outside to photograph the setting of the moon.....

...To the first robin song of the year. Half a dozen Northern Cardinals were boxing the compass in cardinal speak, North-by-Northwest, and all the Souths, Easts, and Wests they could sing.

Song Sparrows were doing their thing from the pear tree by the stove and the heifer pasture fence. And of course the Carolina Wren was shouting his "Judy, Judy, Judy" song from the mulberries by the driveway.

The rising dawn and the setting moon were spectacular.

A fine way to put problems in perspective and a beautiful morning indeed.

***Please excuse the traffic noise in the background. We live on an Interstate....this morning it was really loud.
