Jessie Sniffs the Shadow of My Head

The Light

The Hills

Look Through Any Window, Yeah...

...what do you see?

Graveyard Graffiti II

Graveyard Graffiti

Cross Vine

It grows on the arbor with the pink roses, and right on up into the cedar tree next to it, and in several other trees around the house. I thought most of it had died in the last freeze, but happily it's back!

Ermine Moth

I love how this moth looks like it's wearing a little ermine robe. So regal!

Madrone & Roses

Woodie 2010: A View from the Porch

It's Been a Good Year for the Roses

Spectacular, in fact. These pink ones which came with the house are always the first to bloom, and always do so very early. Will Scarlet on the side of the house (behind me to the left, as I took this photo) is full of buds about to burst forth, and the Sombreuil in front has just begin to open its flowers.

In All Its Glory

Dive-Bombed by Hummingbirds

Oh sure, it's just sitting there NOW, but many times on Thursday they swooped just inches from my head as I sat outside.

The Woodpecker Dad, v. 2010

They're starting to get the nest ready; he was pecking away inside the hole for a long time yesterday.

Hamilton's Intense Gaze

Jessie Takes the Air

The cold front rolling in late yesterday afternoon, apparently from
the northwest, while I was dozing off and on.

I Know Why the Caged Lemon Tree Sings

Because it might actually bear fruit if all of its little flowers
don't get eaten by deer as happened last year.

Monday Morning

Madrone & Roses in Bloom

Hares & Eggs

About as far as the meaning of the day goes for me. But who doesn't
love an Easter chick?

River Water

The Blanco River

A Mighty Tree

Beside the Blanco River, Thursday.

Wednesday Morning
