hawks...

Outside, enjoying a glass of wine and watching our family of hawks nearby. They are 2, that seem to have been living amongst us city dwellers now for the past few years. They are a wondrous sight to behold and they remind you, that even in this City of Angels, in the most concrete parts, nature still surrounds us and abounds if you take the time to notice. I just watched one of the hawks take a speedy nosedive for some prey, but came up emptyhanded. Better luck next time! I do have to say that over this past weekend I did see one of them flying above with a snake in its' talons, so good for you! When you are out, look up. They seem to go back and forth between the Archdiocese building (above the Big 5 & Radioshack) and the building with the huge 'LIVE LOOSE' billboard. The hawks have even been seen and photographed perched upon the good, old Gaylord. Take some time to enjoy this gift.
