This morning a Goldfinch showed up and flitted around, posing here and there, until it stayed on top of the crook long enough for this shot.
I didn't even think of that when I flipped open the book and chose this to draw today. Another Goldfinch. It turned out pretty okay. The wing isn't right (it kinda looks broken) but I'll do better next time. Or not. (I'm thinking of the Heron that was worse the second time I drew it.) These might be my best bird feet though.
The Christmas cactus buds are getting bigger and pinker. There is no logic to this plant. For years it didn't bloom. Then it made a couple blooms. And now that I've given it a bigger pot, more water, and more direct sunlight it's going crazy flinging blooms out helter skelter.
Either this Robin feels extra dirty or is particular about being clean because it took a very thorough bath today. Robins are the most enthusiastic bathers of the birds that frequent my yard. They fling and flail, splashing out quite a bit of the water every time.
And would the day be complete without a picture of a squirrel on the suet nuggets feeder? I think not. Here's today's entry. I didn't see an Oriole today and haven't seen a Hummingbird in a week. Dang it.
The audiobook narrator sent me the revisions this morning, I listened to them, approved the production, paid the invoice, and published it. Now it goes through the quality assurance process which takes about 10 days before it's released into the world.
The back passenger side door of my car won't unlock. Not even if you pull the lock knob. So I've got an appointment next Wednesday to have it looked at. Fingers crossed a wire is pinched or rubbed and it's easily fixed. I don't want to not be able to lock my car and I really really don't want to have to get a new/used one. I'm so nervous about it.
