Mundane Monday #158: all of the squares
Welcome to Mundane Monday #158, today’s theme is “all of the squares”. That is from an AA Milne poem called Lines and Squares:
Whenever I walk in a London street,
I’m ever so careful to watch my feet;
And I keep in the squares,
And the masses of bears,
Who wait at the corners all ready to eat
The sillies who tread on the lines of the street
Go back to their lairs,
And I say to them, “Bears,
Just look how I’m walking in all the squares!”
Mundane Monday is an exercise in joy for me: look for a photograph to of something ordinary that also is arresting or brings up something like the above poem. Many thanks again to Trablogger for letting me continue the prompts. Here are his directions and suggestions for better shots: https://trablogger.com/better-your-photography-before-the-mundane-monday/. If you have a photograph on the prompt, link to this and next week I will list yours! Also, tell me if I miss anyone.

The letter Z: zzzz. Zzzzzs, blessed sleep.
My friend is not asleep here. But what a place to sleep!
And sleep in the sun!
Sleep on a couch!
Sleep in a boat!
And back to the daybed.
Blogging from A to Zzzzzz, and the challenge is done.

I yearn to get more exercise. Sort of. I’m not making it enough of a priority. I did walk to work about a week ago and lots of trees were topped with birds. First a yellow shafted Northern Flicker. Am I sure it’s yellow shafted and not red shafted? Well, no. I would need a brighter day to see it’s tail that well.
Next:
Corvus, the crow. Here. Next a robin:
And who is this? Very upright and about the size of the crow:
The branches made it a tricky focus shot and I zoomed all the way in. There! Yes!
I think this is a juvenile Swainson’s hawk, here. It could be a Cooper’s hawk but doesn’t have a long tail. Correct me, birders, if I am wrong!
Yes, yearn and yellow…. yea for the letter Y.
