Photo of the Day - April 2021

Had an eye-to-eye encounter with this little guy yesterday! I was actually in the bedroom shooting the freshly budding azaleas through the window (it had just rained and everything was wet, hence the shooting from indoors rather than outdoors) when all of a sudden he arrived and made himself comfy on the azalea bushes.

Impressive level of details! I don't think I've ever noticed the pupil of a sparrow before

Aw, you really wouldn't want to dine on this dear little lamb? Just look at that sweet face.....

Thats the bit that goes in a lamb burger!

Same sparrow as in the earlier shot, but shot from a different focal length to put him into perspective:

What kind of flowers are those? I think I saw some growing nearby.

 

[Clix Pix]

They are azaleas, but not yet fully bloomed into flowers..... Azaleas and Rhododendrons are similar but I have not yet figured out what exactly the difference is between them. Both emerge in the early Spring, though. I am still waiting for these guys to bloom but they're taking their time, especially since it has been cooler the last couple of days.

What's wrong with this thread today? All the images are stretched out in a weird way.....

Going to post something just to see what happens. This is an older image as I'm on the other computer while my primary one is busy with copying data between external drives.

Yeah, it looks fine until I actually hit the button to post it and then it becomes distorted, stretched-out as though the alignment of this particular thread has gotten out of whack somehow. ?? I've seen it displayed this way on both of my machines so I don't think it's just me.....

first Madera. I found a Facebook page where they post places with appointments. it was hard to find one here in portland. I found the page Saturday the day I got in the facebook group got the appointment for today. it was only 1.5 miles from my work so I just road there on my bike then home. my legs were rubbery by the time I got home.

Yeah, I only got a plain old tan bandaid for both my Moderna injections, too. Gee, they do things really artistically in Portland!
