cool desert morning
on a low branch in the sun
one quail sleeps in late

I've never seen a quail all "fluffed out" like that. Cool picture!
I love the quail. I think his coloring is a little different than our California quail. You must have been out early to catch him fluffed up and catchig the sun.
Love the post, Diane!
Oh, I love this post. As you know, I enjoy combining poetry and pictures...........:)
I never think about the desert being cool?
Beautiful Poem.
The Quail seems to be focused inward towards the warmth of its heart.
That Quail shot is great. Every now and then a local roadrunner stops in for a sip, then fluffs out all his feathers and soaks up the sun. The first time i saw him do it, I had to do a double take, because I had no idea what it was. He looked pretty funny. I'll have to dog back and see if I can find one of those pics. I'll have to take another day hike up in Sabino soon. I'm a bit of a pussy when it comes to Cougars though.
Fantastic quail capture.
I love that! very nice. Those quail are just the cutest!
Wonderful haiku and the perfect photos for it. Love the fluffy quail.
