Hunter, Preeners, Research, Hide

On a chilly morning, as I was taking a picture of the hay rake before it leaves the field,  out of the corner of my eye,

 I saw This stealth hunter in search of his breakfast.

Mice and grasshoppers are plentiful after hay is made.

 Even after watching traffic coming and going,

 Mr. Coyoteeee continued his hunt.

 The very next morning, just after sunrise,

look who was comfortably preening on the far edge of the field,

but

 a pair of Sandhill Cranes.  

I wonder where their young are or

did the coyote find an easy meal?  The

balance of nature sometimes seems cruel.

 Half an hour later, and still getting the 'itch' out.

 Late afternoon and there are more creatures in the field.

 oops, My mistake.  It's a couple of researchers, 

 bug collecting this time.

 see, Grandma, look how tiny and defenseless.

Mr. allergy eyes is not about to stop having boy things 

to do, like catching and~~~NO~~~ 

 silly boy, dip him in chocolate first!!!!!

 Even the teenage Bluejays were about to get into 

the act of silliness...as they

 took gravel baths and~

 worked at packing seeds away for a winter snack.

 The deer thought they were hiding under 

the thick cover of the maples...but

 darn, I think she sees us...hush, stand very still!

I hope you enjoyed out little walk and ride.

There is always something to see, 

no matter the hour of the day, 

sunrise to sunset.  

Life is Good
