We have an ornamental plum tree in our backyard and while we have more plums than ever this year I’ve noticed they been disappearing or I find the seeds on the ground. I’ve solved the mystery today… Two thieves caught in the act. I have the photographic evidence now so I can pursue a case …

Alameda County Fair 2012
The fair is in town! We looked at the schedule and had to check out the Alaskan Pig races. I also wanted to capture the fireworks display. On a dietary note, I can’t believe I ate a whole Smoked Turkey Leg.
Luz
Luz had 8 ducklings this morning. We’ll hope for the best.
Humphrey
That baby hummingbird just disappeared one day. I did hear a crow right outside the window so we feared the worst. The other day I saw him in our backyard alive & well.
Heron redo
It was hard choosing which foto of the Heron to post so I’ve gone back and made a composite of all the shotz.
Great Blue Heron in flight
Captured a GBH this morning. They are quite shy so he bolted as soon as I got close.
More Burds in Distress
Aside from the baby Egrets today we stumbled upon a baby sparrow that looked too young to fly. There was a cat across the street, he didn’t stand a chance.
Egret Island 2012
It’s that time of the year again. The Egrets are here. Sadly there were 2 youngsters on the ground. They probably fell out of the nest or got pushed out. I don’t think they’ll last very long. They were shaking like Chihuahuas.
Zeni
As a late Birthday celebration for Sandy we met Kathy & the Kung’s at Zeni for an Ethiopian lunch. This was followed by a quick trip to Pinkberry. Later we sat a while at Kathy’s while I tormented Fredi.
Baby Hummer
Sandy quietly called me to the upstairs window to view what she called a baby hummingbird. I said no way it’s an adult… 2 seconds later the mother flies over to feed it. These are shot through a dirty window so the quality reflects this.
