Darn those pesky photographers

I managed to annoy this Western Kingbird and a Say's Phoebe yesterday morning. They were out hunting up a few insects for breakfast and had to keep hop-scotching their way down the fence-line to keep a comfortable distance between us. It was more fun for me than for them I'm sure.

Playing and Learning and Loving

..There is a Byzantium, but not the one Yeats writes about. There is another country the aging occupy and which we share with children. Its borders are formed by the animal that arises in puberty and subsides with the onset of wisdom. It is a land where seven and seventy are kin. Where there are no concerns other than playing and learning and loving. The inhabitants of this land are in no hurry. Our days are dense with experiences. We have, as the Spanish say, more time than life.
