In the trees

In the trees I find animals of many
birds and squirrels and bugs alike
creatures that tend to pose
for all pictures, with no dislike

Sometimes they are hard to find
in their natural habitat
but other times they stick out
like a soar thumb, or a multicolored hat

Some look better in color
and others in black and white
some with their fronts towards me
and others with their backs, or in flight

Some look better in the air
and others in the trees
some on the cold ground
or in bushes where they roam free

I wonder what they think
when they look at me in the eye
because in some I see fright
but in others i see a curiosity high

In the trees I see a great many things
some things that are hard to describe with words
because as i see them i wish i could capture them as they are
