A few arrows

Here are some arrows I made this week. The padded one is for practice - bopping deer on the butt before I start trying to kill them. Luckily there's no season on harassing wildlife so I'll have all year to work on it.

Hawk eats squirrel

I got back from a run the other day and sat down by the window in my room to zone out for a while. Then I started hearing a screaming animal and looked outside to see a Red-tailed hawk with a squirrel in its talons. I got to watch the hawk eat this squirrel for nearly three hours. That might seem like a long time but it was fascinating to watch something clean and devour an animal without using hands, all balanced up in a tree. Plus I had nothing better to do so I made a snack and relaxed for the show.

I think people should know that they don't have to go anywhere to reap the benefits of nature connection. Its happening all around us everywhere you look. All you have to do is look down at your own hands to see a masterpiece of evolution formed over millions of years. And to actually get to control these things is really something special.
