The Road Not Taken

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less traveled by,

     And that has made all the difference."  

Robert Frost

With highly camouflaged predators out and about...

The quail are on constant watch.

From this elevated perch, no one approaches unnoticed.

The bunny was watching too.

The deer are endlessly interested in the domestic cats. 

While the fearless Anna's Hummingbirds are totally disinterested.

poor Parvati, the vet is away for several days yet, so she's a Cone Head until sometime mid-month.
