So I'm watering my Blackberries and .......

I look up and jump out of my skin - there is a giant bird perched on a branch of one of my trees.  I don't know if it's a hawk or an owl or a hawl/owl mutant.  It's BIG that's what I'm sure of.  I immediatly start up a conversation (because I'm eccentric   friendly) - "so, if I go inside and get a camera - you won't leave will you?".  Since he didn't move, I snuck off inside to get the camera.  After I had the equivalent of a top model photo shoot with him - I went in to start a load of laundry.  When I came back out he was gone.  I miss him already..... I hope he writes.
