Spring at McKinney Falls State Park.





Spring at McKinney Falls State Park.





Looking for Love
In spring, mockingbird
Sings at night, looking for love
Keeping me awake
Wishing him good luck
In finding a mate so I
Can finally sleep

I thought song birds were quiet at night. Turns out bachelor mockingbirds will sing at night, looking for a mate. The wisteria vine on the fence outside my window serves as a nice perch for one such mockingbird. I hope he finds a girlfriend soon.

Just in case you find yourself in the vicinity of Fredericksburg, Texas (driving on Highway 290).

I included this second photo because it has a car in it, for scale.
