The newest member of our household, Theodore Howl the Third. (“Teddy” for everyday use.) DNA testing says he’s a husky/chihuahua mix.
(We didn’t have him tested, that was someone in his previous chain of custody.)

Conflict at the bird feeder this morning. (The sparrow nonchalantly began eating, then a second sparrow came, and the cardinal gave up and flew away.)

After six years of trying, we have blossoming moonflowers! (I say “we,” but I do little of the gardening work, aside from enjoying the results.)

This little critter was about six feet away from me. The dog was about two feet from me on the other side, totally oblivious.

No bird feeder cam for now. A part came off (I blame the squirrels), and a part of that part couldn’t be found. The maker is shipping me a replacement part, but it might take a couple of weeks to get here. Meanwhile I’ll miss seeing shots like this (cropped).

Same camera, same bird species, different individuals, different lighting. Other than cropping, I’ve done no manipulation of these photos.
