Looking Up

"What's Up?"  copyright 2011, Caris Cerdwyn, all rights reserved

Most of the time I'm looking at the path in front of me, sometimes behind or to the side as I travel along.  But not often do I take the time to stop and look directly overhead.  I did yesterday.  Trees are marvelous things to look up at...it's a whole other world.  This is a weeping willow tree.  I saw a nuthatch just a few feet away from me, but she was shy and hid before I could take her picture.  A squirrel was chattering at me from someplace over to the right.  And the breeze rustled the branches and the leaves, that familiar, ever present sound on a windy day.  Whispering trees.  I wonder what they might be whispering about.
