Birdies are bigger, feathers are bigger and less downy, appetites are huge, but the nest is still the same size... Poor little robin on the right is being sat upon by its more enthusiastic sibling. I catch them wriggling and shifting around more and more these days. They may even be used to me sticking my head and camera lens right into the rosebush, I wonder what will happen when they grow up. Will they know me? Would I be able to tell if they do or not? A curiosity... :)
Scroll is back in my possession after a brief visit for portraits. Faces are something I'm just not ready to tackle yet. Almost done. Maybe 5 more hours of work, and the masterpiece will be complete. A bit of ink, a bit of paint... Aieeeees...
Finally some sunshine for most of the day today, though our 3:00 thunderstorm was about a half hour late. I'm just amazed at the amount of rain we've been getting... half an inch in a half hour storm today. This is a bit silly. Need some more sun, though. My garden is happy, but everything is starting to be a bit stretchy and spindly due to lack of light, and beans really don't like having wet leaves. They're the only (edible) thing that's actually doing well so far this year, except for the lettuce. Tomato is growing, cukes are alive and nearly ready for trellis (we shall not speak of the peas again...), and only one row of carrots sprouted. Going to plant another row tomorrow morning or this weekend, maybe. They'll be late carrots...
In just a few more days, get ready for Birdiewatch: The Sequel, and experience the Thrills and Excitement of seeing if I manage to keep my job through all the random bird photography! ;)
