Tom Turkey Flirts and Gets Rejected
Yesterday morning we saw a big wild tom turkey decked out in all his feathered glory strut his stuff in front of a likely hen. He was regal. He was graceful. He was proud. He was rejected. I read a little bit on the web about what happens when the tom scores. The tom and…

Tufted Titmouse Playing Peekaboo
Once in a while when I’m filming wildlife, I get an odd feeling that the animal somehow knows it’s being watched. It looks up and seemingly right at the camera. I got that feeling while making a short video of a Tufted Titmouse the other day. It seemed to stare at me while I filmed…

Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Jesus’ last week on earth. The palm tree reminds me of the time we spent in Hawaii. We saw a lot of coconut palms. The featured image is from 1997, when we were there. I remember seeing a picture in a storybook of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on…

Christmas Cactus Flower in the Spring!
Our Zygocactus flower or Christmas Cactus didn’t bloom this past winter. But a plucky little flower has been poking out its head in the past few days. It’s a symbol of hope in the desert of our times.

Stuck in Two Ball Shower Juggling Practice
I get stuck at certain stages in juggling. It’s uglier than usual with learning the Shower. I’m struggling with the two-ball practice. I’ve looked at the YouTube videos of several experts and their demos vary. I found out from a Wikipedia article that the two ball Shower is a thing. But it’s not juggling. I’ve…
