small things far away

take a small thing that is a long way away. Take a photo of it in poor light with a lens that really isn't up to the job....it reminds me of my grandmother's famous photos from safari and from Australia "and this tiny dot in the distance is an elephant". Maybe this kind of photo is just genetic.
There were loads of birds of prey out hunting mice this morning. The snow has driven them downhill in search of ground that isn't frozen. We watched three of them hunting while we ate breakfast this morning.
