Frozen in Time

I heard Melody on the back porch barking like crazy at something, but I ignored her. Then I heard a sound that could only be one thing - the screech of a hawk. As I might have mentioned before, Melody does not like hawks at all. They sit up on the power pole at the corner of our back yard and screech at her and she gets pretty irritated. Anyway, I looked out the French doors in my bedroom and sure enough there was the hawk perched on the power pole. I ran to get the camera and then took a few shots as the hawk sat up on the pole looking down at me. I knew that sooner or later he or she would take off, so I determined that today would be the day I finally got a picture of the wings outstretched. I leaned back against the wall and waited with the camera at the ready. Of course, it was really hazy out so there is not much detail in the picture and there’s no way I could even tell what kind of hawk it is, but it’s a step in the right direction!

And here’s a bonus shot Mike took of LG when we stopped by church on our way home from Target. She got some new sunglasses from the dollar section and she thinks she’s really stylin’!
