Backyard Spectator

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!

Oh Happy Sad Day

The bluebirds have fledged
The first two slipped our notice
The third posed for us

The fourth egg, unhatched
Was abandoned in the nest

Nature's mystery
