Titmice (mouses?) are such sweet little birds. I never see them fighting with anyone.

To the Titmice
In a cave in the flowering cherry tree
Tufted titmice are busy as bees
How many nestlings will I see?
One, two, three, four
It’s difficult to keep the score
In habitats outside my door
Where birds, mammals and insects are preserved
And creation flourishes undisturbed

Well, Glass Mountain is sad, but at least I can see some green and the birds are lovely.

But many moons ago I was there in December for the sandhill cranes. Quite a sight when they come in to feed.

It’s always nice to see some brightness in the world!

We grow as many different varieties as possible. The yellow-orange California poppies are the most reliable around here, blooming from late April to September. Have you been to Corrizo Plain for the big bloom? Well worth it.

I don’t know the photography lingo, but my father-in-law (who died waaaay before I married his son) left behind old expensive looking cameras from the late 40’2, 50’s. He had all these cards written in ink with f’s calculations. I just connected to what he wrote down and you posted, I think.

… n, at.. (No! I didn’t know and therefore have been referring to them as “vermiculite”! Ha!)

@mrmickeysmom probably knows what gropple is. Little round kind of soft snow/ice pellets.

I’d take a dull day at the beach, too. The wind is no doubt biting cold along Lake Erie right now.

I’ll take a dull day at the coast. The first one’s my favorite.

and all the other birds you shoot with a camera…
