Flight

Aaagghh! Wish I'd got the whole plane.

Anyway. We are back in Massachusetts. I took the monster lens to the marsh to look for bird life (or any life really) but nothing doing. Even the nesting boxes looked deserted (there should be tree swallows eventually).

Makes me appreciate the richness and diversity of our little plot of land in the midwest - our garden has more (visible) life than the whole nature reserve in Boston. Perhaps that's why I'm feeling so gloomy.

P.S. The nesting boxes have been my unused just-in-case blips for quite some time. I guess I can clean them off my hard drive now!
