Misty Morning Hawk

Well, there was more than enough Light by seven am, gathered the gear, and started on the Path towards Two Top Pine Meadow...and not far along, heard Blue Jays scolding, and sighted Hawk flying up to a Pine Top...far away pic..thought a bit, and diverted to Bobcat Meadow when Hawk flew thataway...Creek low enough to walk across behind the Deer House...almost certain Hawk was about the Meadow...Blue Jays still scolding...but no luck..too many Leaves on the Oaks....paused a bit at Flicker Grove, and thought a bit on what the gardeners have done...all the Small Trees, Cedars and Ponderosas, volunteers, have been removed in the Grove, which is a mix of Black Oaks, Cedars, and Ponderosas...and now, now one can sight right  through the Grove and easily see Bobcat Meadow, which makes for some new photo ops, albeit kinda artificially...pic up of Woodpecker Tree and Morning Mists through Flicker Grove...I like the pic okay, but I know it has been fashioned, or something...I cant argue that it's not natural, every scene in the Valley has some fashioning in it. or something...even if a car or building isn't actually in a pic, one can turn about, and, well, stuffs eveywhere....overheard a tourist commenting on seeing Bear...'it's like I saw Bear in a zoo'....worse, was 'it's like Nature's television'...hmmph...oh...this morning, tourist commented on the Cabin and the Cedar...'they wouldn't build the roof around the Tree like that today'...often I hear on waking..'which came first, the Tree, or the Cabin'...and the other morning I heard, 'have to cut the Tree down, it'll be in the way of the rain gutter when we re-roof it'...and in answer to this comment, another worker launched into a description of the Tree in the Door of one the Cabins on A. Meadow Row...'it was the healthiest Tree I ever saw'....that Tree was cut down a year or so ago, I've seen the Stump...another Small Cabin thereabout still has its Tree in the Door...there was a time in the Valley when there was a sense of humor...Galen Clark had a Tree in the Cabin...and one of the Artists did too...and the Post Office in Siberia had one, a Tree on the Porch, then its Stump for a Bench, which I think may be gone, but have to check...have heard the pigeon hole mail boxes are gone...hmmph...sunny blueblue hot, cool on the morning walk...picked up mail, and back to Breakfast, and snoozed until worktime...lost lock for locker at work (forgot keys inside,--bolt cutters removed lock), so didn't take camera, and no lunch walk, well, I walked to the Cabin and back...report of Bobcat, yesterday, at Happy Isles...'I'll have to get combination lock...'...'can't remember key, won't remember combination'....hmmph...workman humor....
