Deckview 2/8/24

Ok, definitely not my deck.

A gorgeous view from the Aerie’s Resort deck of the Mississippi and Illinois River confluence in Grafton, Illinois.

Deck View 1/1/24

Morning guest on a cold and cloudy New Year’s Day

He perched like a statue on the edge of the planter

As the squirrels skittered casually closer and closer

Eventually his head slowly swiveled to peer through the glass at me

Then, with a last bemused look at the brainless rodent staring him down,

He swooped into the air,

Leaving behind his breakfast buffet

Deckview 8/6/23

Late in the season,

Migration approaching,

She’s suddenly,

A friendly daily guest.
