First Bird of 2026

Supposedly, the first bird you see in the new year sets the tone for the year to come. I saw a hummingbird (not this particular one, but one on the feeder--very rainy day today). 

 Key Meanings of a New Year Hummingbird:

Hope & Renewal: Hummingbirds embody the spirit of new beginnings, bringing promise and a fresh start.

• Joy & Resilience: Their quick, energetic flight signifies bouncing back from tough times and finding delight in life.
• Good Fortune: Many cultures, including Native American traditions, view them as lucky messengers of good fortune and positive intent.
• Healing & Love: They can symbolize healing energy, bringing messages of love and bringing peace after difficulty.
• High Vibrations: Their rapid movement is seen as high kinetic energy, suggesting a year of operating at a higher frequency and achieving big dreams. 

I could certainly use some healing and good fortune in the new year!

Happy New Year 2026

 

May the bluebird of happiness bring you all good things in the coming year.

Unreal

 

...but real! Last night's sunset was one for the books.

Spring in the Winter

 

The Anza-Borrego desert is really blooming; usually this happens in the spring, but there has been a lot of rain in December. It's not a super-bloom--though really really lovely--but there were no super-bloom crowds. We only ran into one other carload of people while we were there...

Dramatic skies on the way to Borrego Springs earlier this week...

Merry Christmas 2025

Always fun to do a Tallulah Mae throwback on Christmas.
