Here is another unusual shot. Took this fox trotting along a fresh plowed field with a critter I watched the fox dig up. I took the photo and it wasn't until editing that I saw that there was dove just sitting there.
The view was open and the fox came from at least 300 yards away and still the dove stood it's ground as if it knew the fox already had a meal and the dove was not in danger. That is the kind of stupid confidence people often place in animals just before they get woofed.
No photos, but I spent today collecting geodes in the Kentucky Knobs, near Junction City and Gravel Switch - yes, those are real places.
The Knobs are just what they sound like: heavily wooded, very green large hills, deeply cut by narrow but rich valleys bisected by creeks filled with beautiful, quartz crystal filled geodes.
Today, the sky was blue, the breeze was light, the sun was warm, and dogwood and redbud were in full bloom in the Knobs. Spring-fed, jade-green Rolling Fork was running swift and clear between its flowery banks - phlox and mayapples were the most profuse wildflowers today. A nice lady gave me permission to collect geodes from her stretch of Rolling Fork (which is only partially navigable, and its banks are privately owned, anyway) and even pointed me toward an area where geodes of all sizes accumulate on a shoal.
So my back is a bit achy, but I have about fifty beautiful new-to-me geodes to clean up, install in my garden, and enjoy both for their beauty and for the memory of this remarkable day.

You had a lovely day, CraigCreek. I'm relaxed just reading about it. I would love to see those geodes and also hills and creeks.

I've learned a lot about eagles from watching the live cams posted in the Nature forum. I've been living less than fifteen minutes from Honeymoon Island, FL the last four months but have been over there only once. On my next drive over, in addition to enjoying the beach, I'll hike along the nature trail to watch for the ospreys and eagles nesting there.

Planted flowers today. Mr. Bluebird landing close by and a young, juvenile, cardinal sipping water from our bird bath. Last night, we watched a big, fat robin taking a bath. I mean splashing like no one's business. Love the birds!
I just saw a bird steal an insect out of a spider web. All I could think was, poor spider! All the work and no dinner
