There were 10 duckies when we left for vacation and now they’re down to 9. Pretty good when you consider they’re usually all eaten by predators by this time. They are at that ugly stage now though. Half way between fur & feathers.

Burd Morning
Ran out to the backyard this morning after Sandy screamed we have ducklings. Then I got distracted by a stupid Robin eating our Guava.

Lake Tahoe 2012
We had a great time in Lake Tahoe. The weekend started off with a killer breakfast by Jimi. Cheese omelets with a morel mushroom sauce, fruit, spicy sausage, biscuits … and I didn’t take a single photo. Jimi had to work so Amy took us on a hike to Winnemucca Lake with a stop over at Frog …
Rabbit Stampede
Sunday morning ritual: coffee, camera, wait for something to move and shoot it. Ok there were only 3 rabbits but I made a composite to add some depth to this story.
