This was an incredible amaryllis. It bloomed for me for two beautiful Christmas seasons. But, the third year, it didn’t rejuvenate. I was saddened. But I’ll purchase one this year and try to be more careful.

Mid summer, this mermaid was surrounded by darling zinnias of all colors with daisies…bees and butterflies. Now, her garden stripped she braces herself for winter.

For summer spent and gone:
A few homing leaves drift by,
Poor souls bewildered and wan.

Plastic dragonflies are designed to deter certain flying insects by mimicking their natural predators. These decoys are particularly effective against visual hunters like deer flies and horse flies, which are known to avoid dragonflies.

I am a librarian. This was my window for a few years. I only have a few books now. For instance, I have a leather bound set of the collected works of Federico García Lorca, purchased in Spain, never read, pages uncut. They’re in the picture.

The pigeons are on the roof instead of the front yard. Their feeder is empty, the wind is blowing and it’s cold. I’m concerned the occupants went away on holiday. Is it considered trespassing to fill somebody else’s birdfeeder?

Followed this little sparrow around a tree today. Finally captured him. The first pic is rather funny. The wind was so fierce today, I caught the sparrow literally fighting to fly to a branch.

Crossing the Rooster River, I captured a bird mid-flight. It flew out from under the bridge I was standing on. My photo info claims it is a pelican. I doubt that very much! Looks like a rock pigeon to me.
