five minutes

[lizziebelle]

This week's assignment is "5 minutes from home." The library is a bit more than a 5 minute walk, but it's almost exactly 5 minutes to drive there, so even though I walked, I don't consider this a cheat. ;)

Sorry I've been so bad at posting, but life has been just overwhelming lately, and I figured it was better to be silent than whiny.

Anyhoo. Something pretty cool that happened yesterday: a hawk took out a starling right outside my living room window! I heard its cry, saw it fly past, and watched it warily begin to feast in the parking lot outside my front door.




Not long after I took the pic, he flew off with his prize. The parking lot was a bit too public for him, I guess!

I hope those of you also in the frozen north are staying warm. It's currently 3 degrees, and that's not Celsius. :::shiver:::

I've missed your posts. I worry about you when you don't post. ::HUGS::

What a beautiful library building. Is it a public library?

That hawk is cool! I love birds of prey.

Thanks, hon! I thought about posting a few times, but couldn't get up the ambition to do it.

Yes, that's our public library. It also has an art gallery inside. It's a really good library, and it's just down the street! :)

I love hawks, too. I really need to learn how to identify more of them! The only one I know for sure is a redtail. This one is either a Cooper's or a Sharp-shinned, but from what I've found online, the differences are subtle and confusing.
