How We Walk

 


The title of this video made me chuckle...

LINK 10:53 minutes

Videos all come with a grain of salt...or a whole cup of salt, considering AI and everyone having their own truths and opinions. I listened to this (after chuckling at the title - sideways equaled drunk to my ex as a teen) and mostly thought about the fact that I haven't drawn in a while. Perhaps it is time?



Thursday's air quality looked like this. Today it was much clearer.

Every connection of stem to tiny branch was red. It looked like "Neurographic Drawing".

The VA facility was busy putting up flags for the holiday weekend. We saw a red-orange bird perched on a Century Plant. It looked like a Cardinal, but could it be? I did a quick search and saw 3 different birds it could be. Too hard to guess with only a quick glance though and by the time we got turned around to snap a pic, it was gone. Perhaps next time.





These two crows sat out there clacking to each other for hours and hours. We have some very chatty neighbors!

This video always makes me smile. Good times for fun music. Back in the day, our Jazzercize instructor used this song a lot. One week we all conspired together and and when the 'walk like an Egyptian' lick came on, we all did that dance right out of the room. Everyone got such a good laugh out of this lame prank, including the instructor. And I've had this fond memory all of these years.


Today a stop at the hardware store had me wondering at this huge chicken. Who needs a 16 inch tall stuffed chicken? 

The bridge today and in recent visits has not had as many lizards and most of them have been little bitty sand lizards, and only a few fence lizards. Find this lil lizard at the bottom of the fence post. I didn't crop this time. Why the shift? Something to ponder.
The cottonwoods had yellowing spots and small holes in the leaves.

I think I'll start planting some CMB next time. 🙂




What brought you a smile today?

 

May you explore new ideas

May you see new things

May you walk in new ways

We were hosting 35 to 50 sparrows at all hours at our feeders and now they’ve disappeared. We think this batch of seed might not be good. We’re not sure. But the last batch was from Ocean Job Lot and maybe they were old. Who knows about the lizards tho? ~ Dee
