  • Hibiscus - Happy New Year, everyone!  I surely hope 2022 is better than 2021!
  • Pin Oak Leaves in Autumn at Night
  • Robin on the Fountain
  • Light Fixtures at the Van Gogh Exhibit Hall - I am going to be taking a break until the 29th, as I am going to be very involved with holiday activities.  Have a wonderful  holiday, everyone!
  • Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my  Smugmug Friends!
  • Mockingbird at the Fountain - this is the first one I have seen in my neighborhood.  Judith tells me that this is NOT a mockingbird...here is what she says:  Judy--I just want to throw in my impressions--I think you have something that I would get much more excited about seeing in the yard than a Mockingbird. I think this is a Townsend's Solitaire. I'm saying this based on the prominent eye ring and the size and shape of the bill. And, for a long time birder it just look "more like a thrush" than a Mockingbird. They both have mostly gray feathers and white in the tail. The mockingbird has a longer, sharper bill, white wingbars, and a yellow eye. They are similar in lots of ways, but my money is on the Solitaire. This is mostly a high elevation bird, but they sometimes come down lower in winter. (For me, a much better bird than a (here) more common Mockingbird.)
  • What is the name of the song?
  • Raven in the Backyard - It comes to drink from my fountain.
  • Echinacea (Coneflower) and Gloriosa Daisies (Rudbeckia) in my summer garden
  • Zinnias  - Greg sent me this update on his condition:  "Judy I am still in hospital after 11 days. The bleeding is fixed infection dealt with but I have an overload of fluid affecting my heart. I am almost on full meds and now seem to be rapidly losing fluid  If this is successful and the fluid around heart and lung is reduced II will be discharged and able to go home."
  • Queen Anne's Lace
  • Sunflower with Raindrops
  • Blue Jay - Yesterday's song was "I Try to Think About Elvis" by Patty Lovelace.  Bill, once again, guessed the correct title!  I had not even been aware of some of the other songs that were guessed that fit the pic, as well.  Thanks for playing along!

    Lovely colourful hibiscus !! Hi Judy, we both wish You and Phil a Very Happy New Year and all the best in 2022 !!! On a more sombre note, we have been reading about the horrific fires in Colorado, hopefully they are not occurring anywhere near you ?

    What a wonderful image to end the year of 2021 one. I love the color in this one, I'd love to have a few this color to add to our collection. It sounds like you and Phil are going to have a very fun New Year's Eve Celebration with the family. Wonderful Idea. Wishing you happiness and good health in 2022.
