Bird of the day. Nearly thought this was a white-crowned, till I saw in the book that they don't come here, but further west mostly.

There is a little critter in this one. I really enjoy it when I find one in my photographs. It's like nature saying hello.

Today I made it.- accomplished
I made it through all of my massages, had three clients, and it was a full day. How? Well I had 2 2-hour clients, and 1 1-hour client. Which equals 5 hours of work. All three were DT clients. So it was a iffy on getting through the work. Because when I was doing the 2 hour sessions, my energy levels were plummeting, my mind was going nap?
But today was a good day. Kim's doing good. Her Mom and I did some retail shopping, tomorrow is almost completely booked solid. Sunday may get there. Being it's the day before Memorial Day, it may book it may not, it's a new pay period day. Tomorrow is the the last day of the payperiod. Ah well, I'm getting better and healthy. So I'm good with the decisions that I needed to make this week.
Have I mentioned I enjoy working at Elements, even with the drama, FFFAAARRR better than Massage Retreat and Spa.

I am gradually being driven mad by the Fun House theme sticking in my brain for hours every Friday night. Arrrrggghhh! Most annoying song ever?!

May 23, 2013
Well today was a Returning of sort for me. As I returned to the Arboretum for the first time this year to take photographs. I took over 500 and kept 93. I would still really like to get a macro or equivalent, but it was a fun day. It wasn't a draining day, but I still needed a nap after I got home.
My energy levels are increasing slowly, but I'm getting better. Coughs are getting better. Had some unexpected guests in my photographs. I bird eating breakfast in one of the trees. And a little black insect looking over the pedal of one of the crab apple blossoms.

Bono is trending worldwide, yet when I click on it to see why, none of the tweets seem to have anything in common: random posts about U2's Bono, Chaz Bono, and stuff with the term "pro bono" included! (And lots of stuff in other languages so I'm not even sure what they refer to.) *shrug*

Hi group, apparently I was a member and didn't realize it - I totally forgot to friend the community a long, long time ago so it would appear in my feed. DOH! Looking forward to seeing all your bird pictures.
I bought a new camera last week. My old one was a PowerShot, and I could not have gotten this picture at all with it as I was about twenty feet away (still some purple hazing though - this is like going from driving a Hyundai to a Benz, so I have some learning to do). The best way to learn a new camera is taking lots of pictures, so my friend and I went to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on Friday. I'm sorting through the pictures, but this is my favourite so far:

I can't remember the last time anything in Doctor Who made even the slightest bit of sense to me, and it's been quite a long time since I even cared what the hell was going on. Bleh. I'm now officially just watching out of habit and starting to wonder if it ought to be axed again. Weirdly, most of the people in the DW community seem insanely happy about whatever it was that we sat through this evening, making it clear that I am truly not a part of this fandom.- blah

Photo taken on 05/07/13, in the East Bay part of California's San Francisco Bay Area. This little bird has a big, beautiful voice, and I've been greatly enjoying his singing. Click here to visit a page that offers recorded Bewick's Wren songs. Click the photo to zoom in a bit. I recently found out that "Bewick's" is pronounced as if one were saying "Buicks." (I'd been assuming it was pronounced BEE-wix. I like BYOO-ix better.)

It is supposedly a Shikra (Accipiter badius). South-Eastern Thailand.

There are a lot of swallow nesting boxes near the creeks in my area. I tried for an hour to capture these swift little birds in flight as they swooped around, and finally got lucky by focusing on one of the occupied nesting boxes, then just waiting a few minutes:

The first one I've ever seen. They're not common around here. (Long Island, NY) Probably just stopped by on its migration north to Canada to spend the summer.

My book says rufus-sided towhee, but that has recently changed as the spotted (?) has become a separate species. I was puzzled about where towhees fitted into things and found they are related to juncos and to European buntings. Anyway a first for me :-))
As forecast we had SNOW yesterday!!! - or rather a sort of frozen rain that seems to be called 'grackle' here, AND -3°C last night :-((
