Birds' eye view

On my walk the other day. Preening pair. 

 

Nice people, views, and more

 

Had fun at event celebrating a 100 year mark of a local organization. Included the design on arm.

Two Presents!

 Did two presentations on same subject dear to me heart. Grateful for the opportunity and for all that came to hear and see. 

Crab Posing

 

My sisters went out very early to the coast to catch the low tide. One snapped this guy -- perhaps better than him snapping her.   

Towhee nest with baby

 

Towhees made their nest on the ground, and laid some eggs. So far, this one has hatched. 

Skirt

 Haven't sewed much lately, so when I found these colorful fabric, played. (Well, I have sewed, but along the line of tailoring for family upcoming event). 

Outdoor Sightings

Volunteering nearby, and came across this caterpillar. At first I thought he was a cast off toy, but then it moved.  Big and puffy. Apparently it is a White-Lined Sphinx Moth ..they get as big as a hummingbird. 

Then, a velvet horned deer spent about 5 hours in the backyard. Did some very loud snorts, a deer sound I had not been aware about prior. He noticed me looking at him, but I stayed quite and away, so likely why he stuck around for so long.
