In the early morning hours, I sit quietly with my morning coffee,

 and watch the busy traffic.......... streaming from the woods...

large groups of shell quail............in a constant flow and hurry

to the local watering hole

The bobwhite quail also hurry in, 

the long billed and short billed birds

all flying in for a drink and a bite to eat.

The small owls who have taken up residence in the trees 

watch from their tall perch

as a hungry and thirsty rabbit hops along the patio

to come to the same spot,

to the small cement feeders and shallow water containers 

  After the road runner enjoys a cool drink, 

                                            

it spots a cement planter and decides to make a bed

enjoying the moist dirt inside

constantly scratching to make it just right.

Then it hops out

and enjoys the warmth of the sun 

that is making the cool of the morning disappear. 

In no time, it is up and on it's way. 

Throughout the day, there is always some kind of bird

or creature, stopping by to rest at the feed and water.

A constant flow of traffic...........but 

one that is without honking horns, road rage or stress.

A road much traveled........

but much more enjoyable!

So tell me,

what traffic is running past your back yard?

I would love to hear!
