Camera Critters #4 - Buzzard
I grabbed this shot one day on our camping trip. The buzzard was a regular visitor to the field and had just delighted me with a close fly over. He hovered over my head for ages and I allowed myself the pleasure of just watching before I decided it was worth a mad dash for my camera and a quick lens change. My big lens takes better shots from the tripod as the small movements of my hand and breathing make for blurred images but I was pleased to be able to get this anyway.

Wow, Budette! You've been posting up a storm! I can't wait to have a little more time to listen to all the music! "Change It" is one of my favorite SRV's ... and, of course, "Little Sister" by him. The only concert I ever saw with my brother was Stevie Ray just shortly before SRV's death. Anyway! your poem down below is moving to me and I resonate with it. I was dredging up some old verses going through my mind while having insomnia the other night, and here's one for ya from a "20- something me" being dramatic, but turns out, being prophetic, also:
ReplyDelete"...a burning love mixed with desire, smouldering in a lowly fire, when drenched in a pool of apathy, can only drowned the soul in me." Heavy, eh? My soul survived, by the way.
You are one of my Favorite! bloggie souls, Budette. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my frostie window. I WISH I could send you some snow. We have tons of it. Got a short reprieve this wkend. By the way, Happy Chinese New Year of the Ox!! Seems it'll be better than the Rat, eh?
Whirled Peas and Hominy,

There used to be an old custom where trees were ringed, by loose knotting the flexable branch ends. The tree continued to grow with the knot in place.
ReplyDeletePossibly akin to carving a name in tree bark, leaving one's mark.
Your picture first made me think two trees were taking part in a similar service.
My next thought was that they had been crowned.
Which ever I love the picture.
What a great image that is....... I must follow the link.

Hey Bud! I cannot believe you saw Stevie!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome, I am a big fan.
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem, poems are such a good way to express things, and such good things to read back after time, almost a diary.
Happy Chinese Year to you too, I wish you all the joy in the world. Bye for now bud. xx
