    Rock a Bye Baby

    In the treetops...speaking of which...

    THIS is my favorite tree.

    Cherry blossoms are the cotton candy of the tree world!

    Caving

    I've only ever been spelunking (exploring caves) once. I mean the real thing.

    Dark caves that lead under mountains..where you crawl on your belly and put your torch off...just for fun.

    I am fascinated by the look and feel of caves. The dank smells and dripping water, the way the water sparkles on the mountain stone and the little creatures that live in the dark.

    Capegirl loves caves.

    Here's a view of the Cango Caves in Outdshoorn, South Africa. Check out the stunning stalactites and stalagmites!

    Dramatic Rescue!


    Baby Birds

    Not really.

    A friend of mine has been doing some clearing of exotic vegetation with his chainsaw and almost missed this nest of baby birds in the process.

    The noise of the chainsaw is deafening and with his ear guards on he thought that much wild gesticulating meant he needed to cut that branch more deeply before it would fall.

    Luckily he managed to avoid the nest and now a tree stands devoid of branches but for this one lone nest refuge.

    The birds are called "Bokmakeries" in common terms and are actually shrikes.

    Enjoy this rare view of chicks only a few days old.
