This morning had an unexpected rainbow at sunrise. #sunrise #rainbow #photography

I was going through some really old photos of me, and I came across this one of me and Steve Martin in Saudi Arabia 1990. #stevemartin #marinecorps #usmc #backintheday

One of his more debonair poses.

It’s not the best photo, this acorn woodpecker was a long distance away, but it’s the first time I’ve seen or heard one on our property. Others seen here before: pileated, red-breasted sapsucker, hairy, downey, and northern flicker.

A white-breasted nuthatch is the largest nuthatch in North America. Now you know.

Sometimes, you just need to post a photograph of your cat.

It’s been interesting around here. Photography has taken a standstill as my wife recovers from surgery, I may need surgery and our daughter was diagnosed with mono! And for good measure, an unrelated infection for me. I have to laugh. 🤣 I can’t be too “poor me” as many have it much worse. But, 🤷‍♂️?

Another pick of our neighborhood long-tailed weasel.

A long-tailed weasel. This was the first time I’ve seen one on our property. They are obligate carnivores, so we are counting one him to help keep the rodents in check.

Sitting on my deck this morning and seeing and hearing these birds is a wonderful way to start the day.
