Bento Art

I'm more of a "it doesn't matter what it looks like if it tastes good" cook, but this bento art impresses the hell out of me.

How can you resist this?

Nature

Nature is not always pretty. I think this bird



is a cross between a cardinal and

a buzzard.

(All pictures taken in our back yard.)

We checked with the Dept. of Natural Resources - Hubbo's cousin a DNR biologist - and word came back that the lack of feathers is from poking his head into a bird feeder hole, and the distorted beak was from hitting something. It's not a dread disease; just an unlucky bird.
