Bird in a tree

 As I was drinking my coffee and gazing out the window making my mental to do list for today (if it’s a mental list and I don’t follow through there is no guilt.)  There is a plastic bag that has been caught in the locust tree all winter I was hoping it blew free with the strong winds last night. No such luck, it looks stuck even harder. One corner of the bag is caught in the “v” of a branch making a head while the rest of the bag looks like it is sitting on another branch with the tail caught in another “v” there are two little flaps that look like legs and when a gust of wind hits it looks like a ptarmigan or a fat laying hen running as fast as it can possibly go. It made me chuckle and a photo was not going to work the bag is the same color as the sky and the camera was focusing on branches that were closer to me. Then a crow stopped to chat. Mental check list: a sketch and a blog post……what else was I thinking of doing today?  —Ann—
