The Weekend in Black and White: All fenced in

If I was going to be accurate, the title would have been: If I couldn't fly I'd be all fenced in. But somehow all fenced in sounded better.

SkyWatch Friday: Early May

I like the way the shape of the cover over the year round swimming pool looked against the sky.

When the sky is totally overcast the spring colors turn it green.

I do so love the cotton batting style clouds.

A dark and moody day.

Patches of blue peeking through. The lights are over a baseball diamond.

A bit more blue through the thick clouds.

ABC Wednesday: Q is for Quartet and Quintet

Quickly I looked through my archives for quartets and quintets in nature.

Quiet mornings find mixed quintets like the 2 male and 2 female mallards plus one Canadian Goose above. Below a mallard quartet made up of three males and one female.

Next a quintet of all Canadian Geese.

Ending with another quiet morning and a quartet of Canadian Geese.

Our World Tuesday: First week of May

The red-bellied woodpecker has become my alarm clock beating on the drain pipe like a drum. 

The butterfly weed holds on to rain and creates jewels.

Before too long it will flower and the butterflies will be happy.

The American Robin struts through the grass with an eye out for insects.

The blue jay is all fluffed out in the bath.

The house finch shows off his ruby head.

Even the office buildings are green this time of the year.

The female cardinal is having a long bath on a hotter than normal day.
