Reflection, Sandhill Crane, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 5, 2010
If I stand right .... here ....
And hold my leg just .... so .... my reflection will align with those weeds in the neatest way. How cool is that?
Cousin Ken alerted me to this magic in the picture in yesterday's post. Somehow I had missed it entirely.

Crayfish Chimney
Late one afternoon I sat upon my camera case beside the path where it wound through the darkest part of the woods, down near the pond, and watched a crayfish building his "chimney," the land entrance to his underwater tunnel. He had just started to work above the ground when I first arrived. He came up through the moist black earth, carrying a ball of it between his two enormous fighting claws. Using the claws as hands, he spread the soil around the hole to form the base of the chimney. He then backed down the hole and after several minutes came up with another armful.
