Left it too soon!

 




Just before my dinner break at the library I was looking at a book that purported to teach me how to do a hundred things. The range was pretty extreme, from something like "sprout an avocado pit" to "build a forest cabin from scratch" all with the same single page of instructions. I was just looking over "understand the language of crows" when I realized it was time for me to get to my dinner break.

I grabbed my camera and headed out to the swamp. The birds don't let me get close, and nearly everything is dead, but it is Spring now and a few ambitious trees have begun sprouting. Also I discovered some pretty lichens.








While I was photographing those I heard a crow call. It called again.

 And again.


Do you want to know what it was saying?


Yeah, me too.

  1. What a lichen and crow photo. So exacting and so thrillingly moody. I think you have captured what the crow says well enough. Shelve the book, Feldenstein, and never pick it up again!!!

    1. Thank you!

      I will do as you say and shelve the book away! I mean, unless I need to whip up a forest cabin later this week.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
