Inge captured this beauty perched in a tree watching spivvy cedar waxwings feeding in a holly tree. The berry eaters ought to be grateful their guardian stood close by that day until giving up to hunt other small birds and mammals or frogs and snakes.

Between me and the crying of the frogs?
Oh, savage Beauty, suffer me to pass …
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)
