OPENING UP

 I’ll admit it.  I hated to see the leaves go along with the fall color.  But with the leaves gone, the landscape opened up.  The bones of the trees show.  Lakes behind the woods appear.  I most enjoy seeing birds that become visible.  I can now spot a hawk hunting from a tree top a quarter mile away.  Sometimes, I get really lucky, like last Tuesday, when I saw this bald eagle perched high in a beech tree.  There’s always something to see in nature, even when the world goes brown.
