Journal Prompt February 2, 2015

City-fide red tail
Hawk perches on the mall sign
Beware country mice!
Art Prescription: Attention K-Mart shoppers…there’s a blue-light special on isle four. It always interests me how crowded the mall is on a week-day (yes I went to Target), and how generously American shoppers let go of their dollars. Need, want, have…

Birds Watch January 25, 2015
Birds watch the sunset
High atop forest, beaks turn
And the moon joins them.
