Happy Hoot-howl-een!

Um, or "Happy Halloween" from me and Tallulah Mae, the reluctant model.
She rejected this one--too showy...

Halloweenie Fun

Remember this? The fab red vintage tractor has gone away, alas, but this super-cool mini-car has appeared. And the creepy pumpkin-head man is now joined by two clowns. How I love this!

Silliness

Again, I don't approve of grafitti, but this is pretty funny...

Hope Springs Eternal: Artichoke Edition

A teeny-tiny artichoke plant, which must be grown in a pot because of the effing gophers: remember this? And this?

Fingers crossed!

Getting Our Halloween On

It's that time of year again! I love our collection but am thinking it might be time to weed out some of the collection...we're running out of room!

Amazing

 I have a real soft spot for doves. I find them utterly charming...so gentle and sweet; they are the only birds that park themselves in the dirt or gravel for a little rest. As we know, usually there is a pair of doves, but this one seems to be solitary. He/she was having a marvelous bath, lying right on top of the fountain bubbler for a birdie massage.

 And then, this:
I have NEVER seen a bird do this before! He/she did it more than once, just stretching its wings up like this. So glad to have witnessed it.

I really do detest grafitti or tagging, but this one is kinda cute...still not cool, though!

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

 Tallulah Mae is thinking about her Halloween costume.
 I have talked her out of this one...
 Everyone hates a person with ridiculous artificial hair perched on their head.
She is rethinking the whole thing. Wonder Woman seems like it might be oversaturated this year...

Time to check in with the marvelous neighborhood topiary garden...lookin' good!

And what's that in the bottom photo? A random heart!

The Outsider


I am so excited to get a picture of this little hummingbird--it is either an Allen's hummingbird or a rufous hummingbird (I can't quite tell which--if anyone reading this knows, please leave me a comment).

We have always had Anna's hummingbirds in our backyard, but this summer I noticed this little one. He/she is smaller than the Anna's, and there only seems to be this one, as far as I can tell.

Yay!

Such a pretty assortment of detritus in the gutter!
