but...in this space, before i set out. About that huge dead Russian Olive out back. people say they don't understand why i don't cut it down. it's been dead for maybe i don't know, maybe 8 years? for a while, new shoots came up from the bottom but the Goats took care of that. but i was sitting here staring at nothing this morning and just listening. Boat-tail grackles. they just "come by" sometimes. no regularity. go look and there are 3. two interacting.....great displays of sound and feather. Posturing. the dead tree is perfect for watching.
and since i have the camera in hand, i once again photograph my house
one end clear to the other. this is it. no more, no less.
Later..................
