crows don't like you

The Vagaries of Nature Photography

I was sitting in your back yard, trying to film birds. They were the most furtive birds I have ever seen -- well technically I didn’t actually see them. The little devils flitted from branch to branch of your still over crowded back yard. Even in the new bare stretches, where they have pulled out all the trees to make room for a big patio, I still couldn’t capture an image of those birds. They were so fleeting. I think about you that way. Trying to remember you, I catch only a moment, and when I try and focus on that moment, you disappear.
