A journal of outdoor observation, written in response to the simple act of paying close attention for an hour a day to the natural sights and sounds of an ordinary backyard in Decatur, Georgia, or wherever my travels take me, with the intention of recording the single most interesting perception of the hour. The challenge has taught me to expect the unexpected!
Prickly holly hedge
stood guard for 63 years
at basement windows
Discouraged burglers
as well as home maintenance guy
from painting windows
Old bushes, deep roots
Cut down, dug up, carried out
Good bye sticker bush

Cooper's Hawk youngster
long staring at the fellow
he spies in the truck
Sibling hawk takes flight
Upturned tail, powerful legs,
Wings at the ready
