Seek and You Shall Find ...

... if you know where to look.

I was up at Vigilante, sitting in the dirt, playing in the water with Os, 

 when a woman with binoculars walked up and asked, did I see "that" bird?

And I'm like, what bird. I don't hear any bird. 

Then I heard a very small chirp. I looked around. She was scanning the tree tops with her binoculars. I replied, "I hear it, but I don't see anything."

She stayed for a bit longer, searching the trees then she gave up and walked away.

I shot a couple of creek videos, shut off the camera, crossed a small runoff, and stood in the brush by the creek where I heard a very small chirp. There he was. Not in the trees. In the water.

So, I guess the lesson is -- things aren't always where you expect them to be, or you can find what you're looking for if you look in the right place.

Nine months in, 244 days. Time flies, no?

That is my first camera. Made of plastic. Won in a contest by my mother.

Eight months in and, good grief, not only do I find it hard to believe I've managed to maintain the 365 Day Project, I can't believe it's already August.
