Just gratitude and pictures tonight. Not too many birds today, (except the hummingbird twins who are now regulars), especially on my feeder. I'm developing a complex because the cool, rare birds all seem to be hanging out next door. What does their feeder have that mine doesn't? Really!? But Chauncey the Woodchuck was here and Gwendolyn Chipmunk (I have no idea of the gender of either but that's what I've named them) spent a good deal of time cleaning up under the feeder (Gwen) and chewing on my flowering quince (Chauncey). Even though the cool birds are hanging out a yard away, I still did get to see my first bluebird today, which makes three new birds in two days. Tara's nose is mega congested again, so if anybody who would like to send good thoughts her way, I'd be very grateful. Now lots of pictures again and some gratitude.

| Not the picture I was looking for, but it makes me laugh. It was very windy here today... he turned just as I snapped - and the wind caught his feathers.... |
and then the critters who visited....
