Always neat to see these guys up close. These crows had taken some food on top of the car for some rooftop dining. They refuse to go near my house (I'm guessing) because of the red tailed hawk family that nests nearby.

In DC today. Dad's about to retire from the Department of Transportation, so they're sending him off.

Currently surrounded by hundreds of starlings. Pray for my windshield.

Who needs groundhogs to tell you if it's Spring yet when you have (appropriately chaperoned indoor) cats?
A picture of two cats and a dog in a backyard. One cat is on the railing of a deck looking down into the yard. The dog is on the deck looking at nothing considering if it should bark at the nothing. The other car is in front of the shed eating grass.

What a week. Telling that the least crazy thing was my uncle's cross-country delivery of racing shells getting stranded for three days at my folks' place because of truck issues.
