had breakfast with some bird friends this morning…

the goldfinch couple are regulars and often announce themselves with some lovely singing…

they have come to accept me as long as I move around the garden slowly, otherwise they fly away, but they always return later when it is quieter in the garden…

the purple finch couple have been coming quite regularly as well, but they are much more shy, and if I move more than quietly picking up the camera, they are gone and it takes a while for them to return…

the blue jays fly through the garden but don’t stop and the crows fly past now and again… haven’t heard any geese for a while…

got a shot of the waterfall today with the Olympus and notice that it shows the water a bit differently…

a neighbour stopped by with some degreaser to see if it would lift the oil what was spilled on the deck over the winter… will see what it looks like tomorrow…

did some weeding, and quite a bit of reading, today…
