From where I sit at my home desk I can look out the window and see the top of a very tall tree of my neighbor’s. I should probably go figure out what it is but I’m going to say it’s a Doug Fir and guess it’s about as tall as a 4 story building.
This morning I looked out just in time to see a bald eagle land in the top of the tree! I ran outside and watched it. Mostly it just perched there looking all around. It made shrieking sounds a couple of times.
I did not take a picture because my camera wasn’t made for that and it just looked like a far off brown bird in a tree. I watched for a long time but finally went in because I had things to do and I missed when it took off. It was a very exciting way to start the day.
Check out the different sizes of my blueberries. I have an early season, mid season, and a late season. The mid season is the small one and the late season is the big one. The late season isn’t especially prolific but it’s always exciting to pick them because they are so giant.
A thing that happened this morning that wasn’t exciting was when I unloaded the camera card from my trail cam and dropped it through the crack between the deck boards. No way of getting that back. I have lots of cards and also lots of clips of raccoons drinking water so it’s not a tragedy but still annoying.
I don’t think I’ve posted any clips since I got the new cam up so I will do one for later this week.
Seen while waiting for bus. Reaction was to gag. Other thoughts? The food industry’s ideas for getting more sugar into people have no end.
I have seen quite a few praying mantises (praying manti?) in my yard lately. Aren’t they good luck or something like that? The one’s I’ve seen were very small. One was white-ish — so maybe a baby? I’m to lazy to do praying mantis research right now. I am happy to have them.
I also have a lot of dragonflies. Aren’t those good luck, too? I like them. Also this morning while I was watching the eagle, a hummingbird perched behind me on one of the above ground wires. It was great.
