Wonders Never Cease

Well, my morning began with a loud crash courtesy of Angel Joy, who got her nickname "the Tiny Terminator" for a reason. She is very fond of pushing things off of counters, tables and my desk. She is the world's cutest (I know some would contest this) and the world's naughtiest (I know others would contest this) cat. There was a reward at the end of the aggravation, though. First, nothing major seems to have been destroyed. Second, my back door rewarded me with a baby bunny. I know these pictures are not very good. Rain, dirty windows and distance are an awful combination. But still it was a cute little bunny.



I was hoping the bunny would come closer but suddenly what I originally thought was a big crow flew in and it turned tail for the bushes. What landed on my stump, though, was not a crow it was this guy. I had never seen one before. Alas, added to the dirty windows and rain and gray skies was me getting all hysterical and just clicking away in a panic. So these aren't very good photos but, boy isn't that an amazing bird!? It's about the size of a crow and when it flies it has big white bars under the wings. I'd never seen one before. Had no idea they were that BIG! So that's this morning's reminder that the world is rich in wonder and beauty... as well as naughty kitties....
