This morning I walked to Red Fox Meadows because there is a grassy area where I like to sit and journal. But, this morning I found a soft place to sit near a marshy area with cattails and red-winged blackbirds. The red-wings were putting on a free concert while snatching flying insects. A woodpecker was working on a cottonwood behind me. A red-tailed hawk sat perched on a distant tree scanning for rodents or a pigeon. I watched, listened and journaled.
