Backyard buddies

I found more glorious creatures in my yard.







After spending so much time photographing quick-moving bees and hummingbirds, I needed a break, a way to relax. This snail didn't seem like he was in much of a hurry, so I got this photo of it moving on its merry way.

Apples

I took a lot of pictures in my backyard yesterday (i.e., July 2nd), but I haven't had the chance to sort through them all yet.

So, I just picked out this picture to share: a pair of apples. They're either gala or Fuji apples (I can't remember), and they haven't fully ripened yet. I can't wait to eat them!

Beautiful Birds

I always find beautiful things in my parents' yard here in Northern California. Sometimes I see hummingbirds delight in the nectar of our flowers:



And other times, I see a bird of prey (a hawk, I think?) soaring around:

A Thing a Day

I've had this blog sitting around for a while now, but I haven't bothered to add content to it. Since I tend to be too lazy or busy to keep up with blogs (I've been trying for a decade now, and none last more than a year before I give up), I thought I'd wait on this one until I had a plan of attack: How can I regularly contribute to this blog with minimal fuss?

For the next six months, I'll try to contribute a thing a day, with each "thing" being something creative, typically a craft project or a photograph. I might add a bunch of things one day, or I might schedule things to spread them out to fulfill my 1 thing/day quota, but regardless, I'll try not to skip any days.

I haven't figured anything out for today yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to post it here.
