What December looks like
Morning visitors, evening grosbeaks
Moon by request
Wet, wind-blown flicker, licking out her tongue
Oh yeah, a white-throated sparrow
That moon tonight
High noise; blowy skies
Moon just showing through
Raspberry finch
I'm more the bah-humbug sort of person
Evening grosbeak
Just past full, the moon over neighbours' yards
Didn't get any bird pictures
This is a picture of a Golden-crowned kinglet
Alder and chuckleypear
The early show
RIP CKZN

Sea angel and its prey
A gross of eggs in a square inch
Red-legged thrush, I figure.

Grandad's well
Another view of the forest fire. This is right at the western end of it,
where it started and where its swath was narrowest. It's also very near
where my grandfather dug a spring well in about 1930. He lived a thousand
feet or so from this spot and he had a shallow well by his house. But his
neighbours' cows kept breaking through the fence and he was worried they'd
pollute his well. So he found a wet place at some distance and dug out a
spring, making a pool he could draw water from when he needed it. It was
just to the right of this picture.
He stopped using it a few years later, and in later years it was lost. I
found it again fifteen or twenty years ago and dug it out. It is still
flowing today, year-round. It doesn't produce much water, and didn't help
the firefighters a bit.
