i intentionally tucked this pintade feather into an obscure page of one of my journals while we were in france, so that it could be stumbled upon later with surprise. well, surprise, surprise.

a red squirrel ate lunch around here, and carelessly left behind his (local, organic, compostable) lunch container. shame on him. leave no trace, indeed. has he never heard of a recycling bin?

can you see how tightly bound up those branch tips are? not to mention the burdock burrs below, that have grabbed some of the branches and some of the caterpillar web in their velcro grip? what should be waving free in the wind is constricted and confined and a little sad looking. yes, family can do that to you sometimes.
