Most people who
know me know that Mother Nature constantly takes me by surprise. I was
over at John’s apartment and when I left I decided to visit the garden
his neighbor Bill had planted and which people had added items.
I walked over to mainly take some pictures of the blooming hibiscus
plant. When I go there I saw a movement in the bush and it took a minute
or two for me to see the bluebird hidden in there. I tried to get a
clear picture of him and as I walked around he would just jump around in
the density of the bush.
What surprised me was that he didn’t fly off which made me think
maybe it was a female. I looked around for a nest but didn’t see any and
then I thought the bird might be hurt but it seemed to hop from twig to
twig without any problem. His/her claws and feathers all seemed to be
okay so I thought a neighbor might be feeding the bird and that’s why
he/she was hanging around.
As I left, a neighbor, sitting out side, asked if I saw the cat and I
hadn’t. He was just sitting there under the hibiscus very nonchalantly
seeming oblivious to the bird ‘playing’ in the bush above but with a cat
you know better. The cat is a Gateway cat and, from what someone had
said previously to me, I think it is blind.
As I walked away I wonder if the bird and cat were aware of each other? What do you think?


Look hard at pictures 6 and 7--in 7 the lower righ--for the bird.
