when the sun comes out, you might think it’s a good day to kill a stick and eat it because you can and you look cool, even though it hurts your gums.
or recall with a chuckle that dumb squirrel you practically ate whole except that he was faster and can climb trees.
but really what you [...]
He was here last year about this time, the Townsend’s warbler. Now he’s back.
He’s small and jumpy, so it’s hard to get a decent shot. Blink, and he’s gone, that handsome devil.
Even this chickadee did a double take.

I was hoping for a few “squirrel dangles off tree branch” shots but then he went in a different direction. It’s not my fault. He pretty much flashed me, that trampy furball.

And her [...]

Anyway, wherever you read "newt" just [...]
Like most dogs, I love Christmas.
What’s not to love? Food falling on the floor, plates piled with leftover left on tables, low and high, and yes, even presents for me.
This year’s loot was extra great. See, whenever I go to Grandpa’s house, I have to get rid of the squirrels that take advantage of his [...]
