Size Doesn't Matter

 This mockingbird sat in our tree and made a racket for about half an hour--and not a lovely run-through of vocal stylings, but a harsh sound. Over and over. And over.
Until this hummingbird chased him away.

Peony Love

 
 
 
I will always blog about them because they entrance me...the way they evolve from tight bud to magnificent ruffles, the color variations, the scent (like a delicious soap) that permeates the entire house. PEONIES: they rock!

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

 Whatcha doin', Tallulah Mae? Hangin' out?
Hangin' out under the breakfast nook table, waiting for any food, anything at all...

Please excuse the newspaper mess up there--we subscribe to two daily papers and it is hard to keep up with them...

Wings Over America

 
 
Anyone who knows me knows that I am DEATHLY afraid of flying--the fear waxes and wanes, but it's always there--but I do have to say that it is truly remarkable to look down on the sun setting. (The last photo doesn't do it justice--the sun was blood red and hung there for about 3 minutes.)

In the pink, in my garden.

Sun City Wildlife

 Hello!
 Hello bunny!
 Hello little bunnies!
 Hello baby doves (I have never seen them before!).
Hello quail! (Hard to photograph because they are sooooo fast.)

Wildlife at the 55-and-over apartment complex--wild!
