Quail-lets

When the world is getting you down, and people are just too much.....

Walk outside and stop when you see the two Gambril's quail.  Watch them. And as  they cross the parking lot, notice the 5 quail-lets that run across the lot after mom and dad. Stand watching that, and 10 seconds later, another one will come out of the shrub and run to the rest. Amaze at that sight, and another will come out. And just when you think it's over, yet another and [pause] another come out.  Like a clown car.

Where I used to live we had lots of quail. Here we don't. I miss those little guys with their funny hats and sometimes high anxiety issues. They never failed to make me stop and smile.
