Beep Beep!!

The Roadrunner...
our New Mexico state bird...

if it looks like I was up close and personal...I was....a friend wanted a photo of the roadrunner and finally with sum help I was able to capture sum photos of one. these things will run in a heart beat when you're near them. however I got the luck of the draw. first another friend's mother have them visiting in her yard all the time. her mother actually feeds them but when we went out there this morn, no such luck. apparently there's been a hawk in the area & possibly because it rained a bit, they were a no show. Luck wood have it though, my friend, her mother & brother had dinner the night before and my friend conveyed we were coming. Lo & behold, her brother piped up and said if we didn't have any luck, there was a roadrunner that hung around where he worked....so off we went there this morn. sure enough to my surprise this roadrunner came right up to us. there was a co-worker who's been feeding this female for a few years and comes when called. her yearlings were with her but wood not come thru the fence. but I was so excited to be able to take her photo. she was no more than a foot away initially. unbelievable!!! anyways, this was my joy today. I couldn't wait to get home and share this with you. if Life could only be this sweet every day...
