Can I keep it?

Training Distraction

I am supposed to be training for my 3rd half marathon and have been alternating between walking/running and bike riding.  The other day I was on a bike ride and went through the new cemetery near my house.  There are two lovely ponds surrounded by a variety of trees.  I stopped to check out the ponds and before I knew it I was in the midst of a flock of cedar waxwings.  I stood very quietly as a number of them swooped all around me catching little moths and landing softly in the trees. They were beautiful and very playful!  I went back three days in a row in order to take pictures.
