On days when the high winds blow, Crumby has decided to go for nature walks instead of riding his bicycle.  Even so, Crumby hates walks and pedestrians.   But riding a bike in the cold and wind is too much sometimes.  And nature walks are better for Crumby than sitting in his Lazy Boy drinking whisky.

A nature walk is different from an ordinary walk.  On a nature walk Crumby totes his bins and his camera with telescopic lens for birds or various assortments of gear if he is after bugs or plants.  Thus, Crumby may not actually walk much at wall. He may just stand around with his gear.  It beats walking.

Yesterdays. nature walk was great.   Because Crumby, after hardly walking much at all, espied this sage thrasher, a Travis County lifer, and took its picture. Praise the Goddess!
