Yard Stuff 'n Bird Stuff

I have an update on the House Finch chicks and I wandered around the yard with my camera. Thought I would share pictures of the whole circuit.


This is a tropical plant with delicate blue/purple flowers. The plant lives in the garage over the winter and we've
just put it out. Now living at the Bio-waterfall.

This Rock Rose flourishes in various nooks
and crannies.  Tough succulent for sure. 

Looks like it's almost 10 o'clock. Time flies except at night :o)

How 'bout all those lily pads... going to be a bumper crop this year.

We call her the "Old Woman."  She sits there under the mulberry tree looking at the mesa .

Sunny and clear on the high desert.

Is there anyone who hasn't see our most beautiful iris. 

I don't know what this succulent is called but I think it's pretty.  It has yellow
flowers and in the fall it turns red.

This little House Finch chick is lay'n back enjoying a full tummy and warm weather. Looks like he's smiling.

Then he rolled his head over and appears to be a happy camper.

Today the chicks have feathers covering their skin and their eyes are open. Mom and dad have given up
cleaning up the poop around the nest.

Here you can clearly see the open eye... one would assume the other eye is open too.  Seems to have turned that
smile upside down and become Mr. Grumpy... maybe a bad hair day.
That's the tour for this morning. More soon.

Whoohoo!!

It's like National Geographic around here. Those photos of your land could be a huge (waterfall, forest, river...) somewhere and we wouldn't know because the photos are up close and clear... we just know it's a small pond and small land because you say so. Very cool.
