I've watch this crow(or a crow) everyday for three days in a row(or maybe it was three days over four) come flyin' up the road squawking up a storm and landing on this branch across the street, but above the roof on my house. For two of those days shortly after anoth crow comes up a few seconds later and seems to encourage this crow to follow and thay fly around the tree and head west still squawking.
So when I decided to go get my camera yesterday(no surprisingly I don't carry it 24/7) I was surprised it was still perched there when I returned.

​So then with camera in hand I sorta explored my yard trying to summon my inner Anna Applegate, the auther of The Nature of Things blog that we share here at Eight & 322

I love her column each week because she is a tremendous researcher, fun writer and her photos take us through the moment of her journeys with her posse that consists of two goats and three dogs that could also be described as small horses. And she sprinkes in her cat adventures as well. 

So yesterday I just did what I could to channel for all of ten minutes or so Anna with the working mantra echoing in my brain...what would Anna do?  I found a few things that I felt captured what Anna looks for. Later on in the day while out on my day chasing stories i made a cell phone photo of this dandelion globe. It made me think of my friend Tiffany who I did a story on a few years back about her dealing with trauma. She identifies with the dandelion because of its resilience. She said you can blow me away and destroy me, but I'll just keep coming back stronger. I loved thinking about that making this cell phone photo.

Please visit The Nature of Things and share it around. Anna is pretty prolific with sometime two columns a week when she isn't swamped with over time at work.
