The Downy Woodpecker spends her life longitudinal, either looking up the trunk of a tree to the sky, or down to the roots. But our bird tray forces her to tip to the horizontal. She hurriedly pecks at suet-cake. Then, made dizzy by a world at right-angles, she tilts her entire body backwards: yes, the sky is still there. Phew.
The beaver crouches on the forest path. Morning sun glistens off his walnut-brown coat, still spiky with salt-water. Pieces of chewed wood lie about him. My dog Charlotte leaps forward. A fellow who understands that sticks are treasures of boundless delight! What fun we will have together! Ugh, thinks the beaver. He drops his stick and trundles down the acute, scrabbly slope to the bay, the very picture of disgruntlement. Charlotte charges after him, going so far as to step on his funny flat tail as he plods into the sea. Oh, the indignity! He swims parallel to the shore, his eyes accusatory: My sunbeam. My stick. Stupid dog.
