Backyard Fence Hawk
Originally uploaded by FrostolaI woke up on this cold and rainy morning to find this hawk sitting on my backyard fence. I rubbed my eyes, slowly edged out of the kitchen, then ran to get my camera. I managed to get quite a few shots off.
Since it was overcast and through my kitchen window, the color isn't great. But still what a great surprise!
If you are interested, here are a few additional views.
Not much sleep for me last night - I was tag teamed by my daughters. The youngest one was up for a couple of hours, and then right when she finally fell asleep, the older woke up crying from a nightmare.
Oh well. :/
So this Monday morning finds me bleary and a bit dazed, in desperate need of a pick me up. I picked a bad time to give up coffee. ;p But hey, that is what Metallica is for. Especially their song "Whiskey in the Jar."
And if you didn't know (like me) "Whiskey in the Jar" is a famous Irish traditional song about a highwayman, who is betrayed by his wife or lover. Those Irish know how to rock!
"Now some men like a fishin', but some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roarin'
But me, I like sleepin', `specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ha, ya

Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ya"
