The Best of Both Worlds

 

There were two large woodpeckers exploring the tree out front.  In their search for bugs, they covered most areas of the trunk and several of the larger branches.  At no time did I see or hear them pounding at the bark.

Had I been outside I would have snapped a few pictures for this post.  They were very colorful and stayed for some time, searching for their breakfast.

There are more times I don’t have my camera ready than I care to think about.  I’ve missed some great shots.  I don’t even bother taking pictures through a window or screen.  What’s the point?  The quality is simply too poor.

It is this continual failure, on my part, to capture life as it happens, that has drawn me to focus on inanimate objects.  Add to that, my love of words and I end up with things like the very first Zippo lighter ever made.
