The Nature of Things

I'll be absent from this space and mostly absent from the internet for the next 9-10 days, because we are headed out on a road trip! We'll be traveling around West Texas from Big Bend National Park up to the Davis Mountains/Marfa area. It is a beautiful and varied landscape encompassing mountains, desert, and, of course, that river that gives Big Bend its name. I'll be reporting back with pictures (I hope) but probably not until I'm home again. So, watch this space! 

I'm taking a brief respite from blogging in honor of my birthday which happened on Wednesday of this week. This Week in Birds and Poetry Sunday will return next weekend and all my other usual stuff will be back here in a few days.
