Patience
It’s been a long, very cold winter this year. Since my last post here, I’ve said goodbye to our dear 14-year-old border collie, had foot surgery that kept me convalescent for weeks, gotten a new puppy, and generally been unable to get out and about with my camera. But things are warming up a bit at last, and I hope to be able to enjoy some of the welcome sights of spring.
I’d like to post some of the few winter photos I have gotten in the last few months. This one is of a redtail that sat behind our neighbor’s shed all afternoon one day back in January. I wondered if it was hurt, but it eventually flew off. My guess is that it was feasting on mice around the shed. I’ve always wondered how long hawks will sit in the same place hunting. The answer, in this case, was hours.
We named her Patience.

Patience is beautiful and yes, they are very patient! 🙂
I am sorry to read about your beloved Border Collie; it is very hard to lose a fur baby. What kind of puppy do you have?
Hope you have recovered from your foot surgery. I’ve bee there and it is no fun having to sit and not be able to be up and about for weeks.
Glad your’re back blogging – I’ve missed your wonderful posts and photos! 🙂

Thank you! 🙂
The new pup (Lucy) is also a border collie. We weren’t planning on getting a puppy so soon, but she kind of fell into our laps. She’s almost 5 months old, and so far she’s been kind of a problem child. :-/ But we love her and are working with her.
