{ Quail crossing }
The other morning I was driving on my way to work, and just as I arrived at the corner of 700 north and 200 east, a cute little family of quail were crossing the street. Don't worry -- this isn't a tragic story. I saw them, as did the truck on the opposite side of the road, and we both waited patiently while the little, scurrying flock crossed in a single-file line, being sure to stay within the cross walk lines. It was quite a delightful treat to watch them go on their merry way. I am assuming they were on their way to an indoor tea party, seeing as an outdoor tea party at this time of year would just be absurd.

This is way too cute! Chele
Yes, it is cool...*IF* it only happens every once in a while.
Here in Fort Collins we have a rather large contingent of Canadian Geese that have taken up residence in town. Now if they only blocked traffic every once in a while that would be ok since this is the most of any opportunity us city residents have to "commune with nature" on a daily basis. But that is not all they do...oh, no, not by a long shot. When they take up residence in any of the number of city parks they leave their goose poop everywhere.
Still, that had to have been a moment for you to ever so briefly stop and taken in.
