Christmas Lights

After forty years of living here we have seen such a dramatic increase in traffic passing our house, sometimes up to three cars a day, that I finally decided to put up some Christmas lights. I hope the deer approve.

Termite Art

Just the usual week, crawling under the house with a 1000 spiders doing some repair work. To help keep my mind off the spiders I found pieces of this termite chewed old stump. After a bit of cleanup and some simple lighting they turned out to be interesting pieces of art.

Looking for Handouts

One of four Steller’s Jays taking advantage of our bird feeder. It is a bit surprising they are still around this late in the season but the weather has been milder than usual. We also have a hummingbird coming regularly to it’s feeder which is very unusual for us.
