These pretty yellow tulips look pretty in this kitschy/cute vase...

Yellow Rump

A lovely demonstration of the yellow-rumped warbler's yellow rump!

Christmas in February

 

This bush is about 5 feet tall, beside a 1920s apartment building in the 'hood.

My Little Tree...

 

...hangs in there. Our poor Western redbud tree is not well, but I love it so and am overjoyed when it flowers and leafs out every year.

Hi!

 

Dove Pink

 

(Not really a pink dove...this is the light of the setting sun making the dove appear to be rosy.)

Love Love Love

 

This is a really tatty, janky corner, so I don't mind these stencils at all...

February 14

A very happy Valentine's Day to everyone! And a very happy 40th (!) wedding anniversary today to me and my most beloved B.... 

Also? Tallulah Mae!

A New Visitor!

 

This gorgeous tiny beauty is a ruby-crowned kinglet, which I have never seen before in our yard--beyond exciting! (They are definitely seen in San Diego, so not super rare, but super rare in OUR backyard!)

Rump of Yellow

 

It's always fun to see the migrating birds this time of year...this is a sweet little yellow-rumped warbler passing through.

The picture above shows the "yellow rump" (or "butter butt," as birders like to say).

The Line-Up

 

Hello, Lovely

Early Bird

 

I planted some sweet peas at the end of the year thinking I would have a nice early crop in April or so...imagine my surprise when I went out today to find two (very early) blooms! 

Reflecting

 

Also, this mannequin definitely has Resting Bitch Face!

Palmer

 

These cool pins belonged to my great-aunt Inez. I regret that I don't know when/why she took Palmer Method courses, but I assume that she used the handwriting skills she learned in order to get some sort of office job.
