Atop his Observation Tower


From his vantage point high above the pond
he surveys the garden
making sure those pesky rusty pups
really have been called inside
so as not to bother his fishing expedition.


The same colour as the dead spruce beneath him
you have to know he's there to see him.
Mother Nature is the best artist of all.

    at the Bosque del Apache Nature
    Center.
