I like that also. It would fit if these were "Blue Jays".

Next is our four sweet banana peppers and one jalapeno pepper plant on the left side and our herbs (parsley, rosemary, oregano, basil, tarragon, and garlic chives in the center and right side. This is the second year for the chive plant and you can see that it has grown so much that tops of the roots are now above ground. The plant was straight until last week when we had 30 mile an hour winds and thunderstorms from the west for two days.

Re: The Great Photography Thread - REVIVED!
The Bad News:
I took my binoculars and made an attempt at seeing more of the southern sky that I have seen before, BUT lights, clouds, and mountains all conspired against me. Night viewing was a loss.
The Good News:
I got my first experience of snorkeling in the ocean. I took a GoPro 11 and put some familiar practices into place. I shot a video at 60fps, then split out a single frame to process. Presto! Out popped my first attempt at underwater photography. I don't think this will be the last. I enjy just about every form of nature photography.
P.S. I should add that I was also able to photograph several species of birds that were new to me.

Nice image Rob. Good to see those fellers in the sea rather than a tank!

I've been removing tons--literally--of ivy and jasmine from the property, part of a plan to landscape with native plants. The thought is to support local critters, but preferably ones that weigh less than 75 lbs or so.
