Your Back Yard

Not being able to get around and playing with my luger I took a picture of our background and a picture of our resident osprey yesterday morning. I know someone out there have some beautiful moments you care to share.

Beautiful creatures of the sky!

Its wild to watch them swallow a fish all the way down its long neck.

cirelaw · 05-17-2011, 09:59 PM

They only eat the expensive bread.

Not natural beauty, but beauty I had to create.

You would never believe if I told you, what some of the ones I have cost, you could buy one of the most expensive lugers you could find. I didn't buy them, but well to do friends did and they were given to me after they were over the hill to show and that's the only reason I have them in my pond.

I have a friend that lives in the North Carolina mountains.

His neighbor insisted on constructing a Koi pond and stocking it behind the house.

The neighborhood bears feasted that night like never before.

It was not peaceful nor restful...

A haiku seemed appropriate:

Slivers of moon flashed beneath the wave. A bite and all dissolved to dust...
