Some flower pics and a bird .....


Thus is the black-eyed Susan .....


One of the new lilies I put in last Autumn ...
My favorite lavendar geranium .....


And my resident catbird! A bit blurry, but he's very hard to catch outside of the bushes where he hangs out...and sings! They have been nesting in my yard since the 60's!

Pretty pictures, the bird looks like such a fragile creature.

He's slate gray with a black cap; one of the mimic thrushes (like the mockingbird). Both sexes are the same color.

Indeed he is, Moli! He has a beautiful lyric song, but can also make a noise that sounds exactly like a cat mewing! I've been fooled myself by him a few times over the years! I think he's the great great great grandson of the one who started nesting in my yard years ago! The little fledglings are so cute when they are learning to fly...wouldn't take the cats out in the garden until they could!
