"A guardian angel is an angel assigned to protect and guide a particular person or group."

It was about six o'clock on the time the moment I pulled into our steep hilly driveway. Coming home from Rapid City, it was the usual time I would be at home. It's still summer and it felt comfortable outside to the point where you it "wasn't too cold" or "wasn't too hot," just in the middle. The sun was still out shining brightly onto our lively grass filled with unusual "creatures," such as flying green and brown grasshoppers, and bumblebees. I can't forget about the gray fuzzy rabbits who have that "love--hate" companionship with the neighborhood cats.
Occasionally, we would get huge families of visitors with awesome horns and big muscles. These were known as deer, but that's beside the point. Birds were included, but I wouldn't call them "unusual" because they are everywhere. These birds that fly around are just not the usual grey-white pigeon you see hopping around on the city streets; there are actually different species of bird that call the "Black Hills" home and I happen to live where they live - in the "Black Hills of South Dakota."
One bird that never fails to amaze me is the Robin. The miraculous beauty of a robin is astonishing because they were rare to see yet I could always capture a glimpse of one flying around the house. I can even spot one flying in the air if I'm lucky. They are humble creatures from what I've observed. Birds stay high in the sky, and have a pretty good relationship with the other animals because they have that advantage of being in the air instead of being land animals. Of course they come in all different colors such as blue or red - probably even more. I've seen both of them and appearance wise - they look just beautiful. I've never seen a robin in my whole entire life except on television shows like "animal planet." The sad thing is that they do not come too often, maybe once every two weeks we would see them flying in our backyard. I guess that's why it makes them so beautiful, the fact that you don't see them often makes them a treat for your eyes. Call me crazy, but I really like what mother nature has given to us. There are just some things in life that will amaze you if you were there to see it in person, rather on a pixelated screen.
