…to land in a tree across the street from me. She cranes her neck to look at me. Am I a weird relative? Am I holding a bird captive? Where are my wings?
Where are my wings? I want to know too.

I took this photograph when I first saw the bird. Not in focus. I am lucky I even caught it.
What is it? Can you tell?
I am walking without earbuds, looking and listening for birds. This is three blocks from home.

I took this yesterday too, nearly blind into the sun and zoomed in. I learned to hold my breath for the zoomed in photos when my daughter was in synchronized swimming. I could not see which bird this was until I downloaded the photo: a red-breasted nuthatch. I love the nuthatches, going head first down tree trunks to find food. This feeder has many birds visiting both yesterday and today….
in habitat
For the daily prompt: inhabit. What does a butterfly inhabit? A garden? A forest? The sky and the trees?
I took this in Wisconsin this month.

I spent much of yesterday at the Uptown Street Fair in Port Townsend. The Farmer’s Market was beautiful and busy, a second street was blocked off for craft stalls, and Lawrence Street had entertainment on stage from 11:00 until after 4:30. I finally danced myself into the ground and went home! I am a bit stiff this morning! Hooray for the bands and the tiny uptown parade, the color guard, the police and all of the people and businesses who put the fair on, came out, and shared a stunningly gorgeous day!
The Kinetic Sculptures were out, a wonderful drum group, the Port Townsend brass band, artists, dancers, buskers and lots of food.
Today is the County Picnic…..
For the Daily Prompt: trance, though I don’t think she was in a trance at all. I think the audience was entranced!

I spent nearly all day outside yesterday, with my daughter and various friends, uptown and downtown. This is at the Haller Fountain.
curl
For the Daily Prompt: unfurl. A curled fern.
parenting 2
Right across the street from work, and I think this is the same family as in a previous post, parenting.
The geese are now teens, but the parents are still alert and keeping an eye on everything. This is a fairly busy road in our town and the geese are trimming the nursing home lawn. I hope the residents are enjoying watching them.
Brick wall door
Also for Thursday Doors, a lovely little balcony high up in the brick wall. Taken last week in Dodgeville, Wisconsin.
