These Are the Days

The picture below of a crow eating a dead rabbit hit by a car (I hope it was quick) might seem a bad way to start a post, but then again...

Then again, it's a good reminder that these are the days. The video below of Natalie Merchant is the source of the title of this post...

Yes, these are the days... In the past, we've talked about death, and it's good to get that discussion done (I'm still waiting for my Bunny Babes!), but 'til we slip these earthly bonds, there are days to be lived. It doesn't take much... Perhaps a good book, or cooking, or whatever. But anything is better than the one-eyed brain bandit, pie and the less than memorable... Since you're reading this, odds are that looking out at the birds can make for a memorable day, and that's a good thing.

We took the little boat out today, and we were treated to a chevron of geese "fly by".

It wasn't a big deal really - just a bunch of geese heading south. But still, it is something that will lodge in my craw for all my time...

These are the days...

See you by the feeders,

P.S. Don't forget that time is running out for the Sept '08 Bird Photography Contest!
