A Conspiracy of Ravens and Other Musings

.

 I walk in the mornings when things are quiet and I observe what's going on. This morning I saw a "conspiracy of ravens"...that means a lot of ravens. I was hoping the collective for Ravens was going to be more exciting, like a "murder of crows" but alas, ravens only drum up a conspiracy

This old tree has seen a lot of days. His limbs are twisted and big chunks are missing...but he's holding his own. Trees are like that.

I call this one "I packed just a little bit" because if you stretch this picture out you will see they have brought everything with them, shovels, a rake, fishing gear, food, buckets, a canopy for the truck bed...and so much more. They are out for the weekend, I wonder what they would bring for a longer stay. What's not pictured are the 3 hammocks tied to the neighboring trees, and the beanbag toss.
