spent a good portion of the afternoon in the garden… I was particularly watching the birds as I thought I’d spotted a rose-breasted grosbeak at the feeder from inside the house…

it was a lovely time… lots of bird and fish watching…

one of the things I’ve noticed is that the waterfall sounds different depending on how clear the line is…

when there is no debris in it it is quiet…

when there is algae and the odd stick in it, the sound is much louder…

I usually have a large skewer behind it that I use to clean the waterfall mechanism, but it appears to be gone… wondering if a crow came by and took it, lol… today I used a twig that had come down from the elm tree next door…
