Repost from my blog (no longer being updated) Living in Black Mountain. 2018. Leaf Peepers are people who drive through the mountains just to take photos of autumn leaves.
Yes, a robin was flying around, tried to find his favorite berries, but there didn't seem to be any. Otherwise, he could do fine with the worms in the mud below the trees...if he wanted to. Sharing with Saturdays Critters.
The clouds obscure the distant mountains completely, which otherwise would show through our almost leafless trees. I will bet the "Leaf Peepers" were all hanging out indoors yesterday also.
And speaking of robins, remember my Feb. 26 post about them gifting my car with lots of splotches?
The robins have attack my car this week. They flock through mainly in the mornings, eating those red berries they can't digest! Unfortunately there aren't nice bugs and worms left in our sterilized grass areas. So the undigested berries are left under all the many bare maple trees, and my car is partially under one.

Life is full of mystery. The mystery is our invitation to let go and to embrace uncertainty with the fullness of our being. This is how hope becomes our bearing. It’s how it becomes our compass in uncertain times. |
