Baby Steps

Baby went for a walk yesterday with a raven she met in the mountains. If you've never been very close to one, you might not know how large they are. Or how bright.

Or that they have a sense of humor.

Raven thought it would be funny to walk like Baby (who has a distinctive gait). So he did.

They walked and squawked and talked for a good ten minutes before Raven made use of his wings.

Baby had faith in Raven, enough faith to think they were on friendly terms. She could have been wrong.

As it turns out, ravens lead unassuming folks, like Baby, to hungry folks, like grizzlies, so they can pick at their bones once all is said and done.

But Baby's still intact. And she has some good bear stories she'll share with you down the line.
