A tall pine tree towering proudly above the land below.
You: perched on its spire, glaring and searching for others’ errors.
Opportunities all around, you need only make your move.

Life Beyond the Nest
A tall old pine tree offers you safety, shelter, and a home.
From the only home you know, you peer out into a new world.
There is so much to learn and do, it’s time to go exploring.
Watching for Spring
The cold grey sky and falling snow conceal the approaching Spring.
From your perch in the sky, you sense the changing season so near.
You smile inside, soon will be a time of rebirth of the world.
Nest Building & Lookout Duty
A quiet cool morning in the forest, you’re both preparing.
She: making preparations for things to come in the future.
He: preparing to protect and defend that future from harm.
Out on the Ice
Out on the ice, you survey the white landscape for your next meal.
A large thing moves in the distance, it too does not mind the cold.
You return to your search on the ice, for smaller things to eat.
Sanctuary Amongst Dead Trees
Hidden amongst the trees, living, dying, and dead, you are still.
The forest offers sanctuary, but you remain aware.
Others are ever vigilant to expose you to the world.
New Year Hunting
A snow covered field is your hunting ground as you search for food.
You’re blending in with the surroundings and having watchful eyes.
Now you wait and watch for slight movement and opportunities.
Perched and Prepared
You’re sitting quietly for opportunities to arise.
All your senses take in everything around you while you wait.
Very few know how fast and capable you are of seizing chance.
Disturbed While Fishing
Perched in a tree far from home, you peer out at the world around.
Something large approaches nearby on land across the water.
Better fly away than find out, at your age, you’ve much to learn.
Memories of Familiarity
Each new morning, the search for a meal takes you from place to place.
Some places appear familiar and some places appear new.
You’re never sure because memories fade and blend together.
