New Bird Alert!

 

It's a red-breasted nuthatch, a bird rarely seen on the coast. So so cute...very difficult to photograph as they are sooo quick. Isn't it pretty?

Random Heart: Wooden Fence Edition

 

Local Library Love

 

I love the public library--this is the book return slot (temporarily turned into this robot). 

Vibrant

 

The First

 

. . . roses of the season! They smell heavenly.

Tongue Out

 

This oriole is sticking its tongue out at you! (It is actually really enjoying its grape jelly!)

Hi!

 

Darling

 

This adorable and sweet little guy was a stray in the 'hood. Some kind folks took him to see if he was microchipped (he was not, alas), and then took him to the Humane Society, where he will be very well cared for. I hope his folks find him and take him home! (I love him.)

Cloud Puffs

 

Subtle

 

Welcome Back!

 

The hooded orioles have returned! 

Tiny Alien Bloom

 

This tiny flower is so wiggy...

Cuteness

 

How adorable is this Bewick's wren? I mean... 

By the Light of the Slivery Moon

 

Signs Signs Signs

 

I love this corner...so many signs! 

Two of a Kind

 

Not the Eclipse...

 ...but a cool shot of the moon nonetheless. We had about 60 percent totality, and it was quite cool (but hard to photograph without the proper equipment.)

Fork in the Road

 

This is very quirky for Pasadena! (We saw another fork in the road in rural Kentucky on our cross-country adventure.)

Random Hearts: Potato Chip Edition

 

(Also, pretend this is Thursday's blog post...it is 12:08 a.m. on the 5th, oops!)

Swoops

 Space-X satellite launch (again)...makes for some cool sky calligraphy!

Potato Chip?

 

No, it's a moth! But it does LOOK like a potato chip, no? (Slightly blurry, apologies...)

Wisteria Time Again

 

I will be very sad if this lovely stand of wisteria ever goes away or stops blooming...it's a yearly tradition to photograph it!
