An Adventure Through Life

           Through the sky I fly, looking for something. I don’t know what, only that I’ll know when I find it. I can’t see from this high though. When I descend, I immediately find what I’m looking for. The grass is and as I land to catch my prize. Taking flight once more, I turn back towards home. I love this moment, completely suspended in the air, nothing keeping you alight except for your own two wings. It’s wonderfully freeing. It’s times like this that make me wonder about the humans. How do they do it, always stuck on the ground? It would drive me mad. And the contraptions they live in are so strange! Nothing compared to my cozy nest, perched high upon the branches of a tall fir tree. And their bodies are so odd. Whereas I have beautiful red plumage, those humans don’t even have feathers. How I pity them. Oh well. I have more important things to worry about, like bringing this nice juicy worm home to my chicks.

I was out adventuring in my backyard the other day when I found this perfect little mushroom hiding in the grass. Instead of squishing it, like mother has always told us to do when we find wild mushrooms, I pulled out my camera. I took a few photos before getting up close and personal to capture this grassy shot.
