She was wandering down the gravel road as I slowly passed through. She realized I was coming closer and moved with grace across the road, out of the way of the big black round rubber things coming her direction. I crept slowly closer in hopes I wouldn't scare her totally away and also because I knew that more than likely somewhere on the edge of this gravel pathway, there was probably a barren nest with eggs, camoflauged as rocks.She scurried gracefully a little bit more, trying to get behind the very short, dried up blades of vegetation that were on the sidelines...hoping that she also would be camoflauged from site. I was blessed enough to have been able to quietly roll down my window and snap some good shots of her using my car door as a support.
I drove off slowly, praying that the nest was out of harms way, and she scurried with grace back to her nesting position, watching the black round rubber things roll away.
