Anna’s hummingbird babies. Not a great photo, but I never got too close to them because I didn’t want them disturbed. They got fat. They fledged. Circle of Life!
Cute little things…

Big, beautiful birds against dodgy backgrounds…a short photo series.
Thanks a lot truck and trailer hitch.
Thanks a lot ugly utility wires and ugly brown stucco.
Thanks a lot weeds, inconvenient shadows, and ugly tarp and graffiti.
OK, I got the heron flying, but never all of him in one shot
*Almost.*
Spring at the park…
Flowers, greenery, and a full lake!
A wholesome family outing.
A popular photo spot. Probably trampled flat by the end of the week by people taking graduation, wedding, etc. photos.
One of my favorite trees. It takes the path of least resistance.
Relaxation.
It’s beautiful to see the lake full again. It’s a natural lake so it’s a good drought measurer.
Beautiful park, beautiful clouds.
One of the locals…
I love these little guys. So dang cute.
The bluebird of happiness…
Until it tells me differently, that’s what I’m going to believe.
Meanwhile, at the local library…
Self portrait in a library used book store.
The architecture is weird and wonderful.
They have one of those Chinese terra cotta warriors there.
Keeping an eye on things to make sure everyone is studying and learning.
Looking for lunch…
…the struggle is real.
Squirrelpalooza…
…now playing in Heritage Park!
Last breath of summer…
I’m not telling him winter is coming.
Bolsa Chica beauty…
Great blue heron, from a distance…
Little fence lizard by a big fence…
Looking toward the Brightwater Trail under a blue fall sky…
