ugly as can be -

- so many of these Cedar Waxwings were on the deck this morning
- until researching who they were, just called them 'Grumpy birds'
- all photos taken through two layers of glass

(from Cornell Lab of Ornithology - All About Birds website)
"The Cedar Waxwing is a medium-sized, sleek bird with a large head, short neck, and short, wide bill. Waxwings have a crest that often lies flat and droops over the back of the head. The wings are broad and pointed, like a starling’s. The tail is fairly short and square-tipped.

Cedar Waxwings are pale brown on the head and chest fading to soft gray on the wings. The belly is pale yellow, and the tail is gray with a bright yellow tip. The face has a narrow black mask neatly outlined in white. The red waxy tips to the wing feathers are not always easy to see. (couldn't see them)

Cedar Waxwings are social birds that you’re likely to see in flocks year-round. They sit in fruiting trees swallowing berries whole, or pluck them in mid-air with a brief fluttering hover. They also course over water for insects, flying like tubby, slightly clumsy swallows.

Look for Cedar Waxwings in woodlands of all kinds, and at farms, orchards, and suburban gardens where there are fruiting trees or shrubs."

The hand on hip talking to ..

"now, just what were you thinking - or were you even thinking at all ..
wrapping yourself around me ..
not only are you tight, but come on now ..
you are in my space ..
yes, you should hang your head ..
hmmpf ..
the idea of a vine getting personal with a banana tree ..
will never understand why ..
don't care if those berries are listening ..
you should have thought about that ..
the human has been contacted to move you elsewhere ..
good luck .."

-imagined conversation between Hand-on-trunk-Banana Tree and the green vine wrapping itself around it
- yes, am the human in the conversation
- relocation of a vine can be very touchy
- perhaps the neighbor behind that weathered fence would welcome it

Life ..

Peggy C has posted:

defining life is difficult -
life is a process -

- "a property or quality of plants and animals
- a living being
- a kind of plant life
- a time a person or thing is alive or exists
- a manner of living
- an individual's animate existence
- a specific aspect of an individual's activities
- a love of life
- an existence of the soul
- a period of flourishing, usefulness "

... parts taken from Your Online Dictionary
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- we all have a different view of what Life is or is not
- perhaps some of the definitions above make sense .. maybe not
- life is being
- it is more than existing
- it is taking an active form of being on this Earth
- doesn't require great accomplishments
- do believe Life should be part of our deep soul
- we do what is right.. because it is right
- be it animal, vegetable, mineral
- we are caretakers of the Earth
- it belongs to none of us
- Earth-on-loan
- should be given to our children better than we found it
- it is a beautiful world

Namaste,
Peggy
