Okay it wasn’t my backyard but it was my mother’s. So that’s near enough. It was a quiet Saturday afternoon. My daughter and I were visiting my mother who lives in a townhome with a teeny backyard cement slab thingy but I won’t get into that right now. My daughter was happily playing some toy or another and I was kind of deciding should she and I go outside when she seemed so content but I wanted her to get some air… yada, yada. Things I struggle with.

Anyway then I see this cute little starling bird come traipsing across my mother’s patio thingy and I was just about to call to my daughter who is a nature buff, although she enjoys bugs the most but she would appreciate a bird, when a hawk comes out of nowhere and grabs it. Okay my mouth is sort of hanging open in shock when seconds, I mean seconds, later a cat jumps up from the bottom to try and get in on the action.

The cat by the way is the clawless pet of the neighbor and realized soon enough that he was not in a position to enter this fight.

By this time my daughter has realized I’m catching nature in action and she wants to run out there. But I encouraged her to just sit back and let the food chain have it’s way. The hawk quickly flew off and all I could think was….

WHERE IS MY CAMERA!!!!
