I was standing next to my truck at work today, waiting to talk to an Overhead Crane technitian about a problem we were having with one of the 16 freaking overhead cranes we have when this little guy landed on the fiberglass cover on the bed, right next to my phone.

The little dude came out of nowhere and just decided to take a break I guess.

He didn’t even budge when I reached over and grabbed my phone to take this picture.

He just sat there for a minute then decided it was time to go. He opened up his wings, took off into the air and shortly disappeared amongst all the railroad cars in the yard next to the plant.

Not worried about politics, the surveillance state or boys thinking they are girls.

Just where he is going to find his next meal and where he is going to sleep tonight.

Maybe trying to find a mate and make some babies along the way.

Just as nature intended.

It was one of those rare moments that made me just glad to be alive so I could enjoy the moment and forget about all the bullshit for a second.
