A northern flicker drumming on our neighbor’s chimney cap.

We had a gathering for Lis after all. Sorry you couldn’t make it.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

We put a plush leopard in our front window today in support of the Teddy Bear Hunt movement. But it wasn’t a kid who discovered it first.

Shooting through some obstacles gave this shot of Mr. Cardinal in our pear tree a dream-like quality which I kinda like.

This is one family who’s evidently not hurting for dairy.

 

Today I made Eggs Goldenrod, the traditional Easter breakfast in my family growing up.

I just took delivery of 52 beers, plus a box of white wine for cooking and a 1.75L of rye whiskey. Thank you Gordon’s! That should hold me for a while. It will sit in quarantine for 24 hours, like everything that’s coming into the house these days.

I used every trick I know to get more reach for this shot — 300mm lens, 1.4 *and* 1.7x teleconverters, on a crop-sensor camera, plus a moderate crop.
