Thursday is normally the post for Chuck Wendig’s weekly Flash Fiction Challenge, but this week it’s again a simple “Write a one sentence opening line” assignment. Plus I’m a bit toasted after the last three or four nights of lunar eclipse stuff. And the Kings’ first playoff hockey game of the year is on, so, priorities.
But this afternoon there was a gorgeous hawk out in the back yard, apparently chasing after squirrels for dinner. This is a good thing, since the squirrels are evil little vermin and hawks and other raptors are really cool.
The pictures were shot though the window (no time to go outside) so they’re a bit “flat”, but it’s still a beautiful bird. I don’t think it’s the same bird that I saw last December, but it’s probably related.
