Or Two
Daylilies outside the mailroom
Today,
we got the first in what are expected to be a series of April showers.
It will be a relief for the people who have been suffering allergies and
hay fever from clouds of pollen that have been filling the atmosphere
the past few days.

It was an interesting week
of music for me that included the Treehouse Jamboree on Monday, some
songwriting with John Harrison on Wednesday, and tonight the members of
the Phil Seymour band got together and played a really nice set at the
Shasta Blues Society Thursday Jam.
My first good butterfly pic this year
The mockingbirds
are filling the Treehouse grounds with songs of their own personal
styles in the age old love song method of attracting mates. This one,
pictured below, seems comfortable having certain people get close watch
him perform his repertoire.
M. p. leucopterus 'Western Mockingbird'
A 2009 study
showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans,
particularly noting those whom had previously been intruders or threats.
Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which
they had greatest success in previous years.
There are
plenty of photo subjects to keep me busy, entertained, and observant,
right here in the Treehouse landscape. I consider myself fortunate to
have so many activities that I love to do. I enjoy sharing these
perspectives of the world in which we live.
I like
taking pictures of hummingbirds, but I have to say that I have never
seen such great Slo Mo video of hummingbird feeding behavior and
etiquette, as captured in the following video. I didn’t know that they
actually tap on the back of a feeding bird as if to say, “You have had
enough. It’s my turn.”
