Spring

One of the great things about Spring, the season, is how quickly it changes your worldview.

This year we are having a real rainy season, snow pack in the Sierra is at 115% for the time of year and the garden is shouting "More....give me more" as the rains come down.

Also, our nameless tree, who's fruit is much beloved by the feral parrots, has a bumper crop, and the flock comes in to feed in the morning and at sunset.

Two images of spring:

And the parrots...

 

 

 

 

 

This flock is relatively small at about 30 members. I've seen flocks around town that number upwards of 100 birds. But that's just a guess, I just can't count that high, that fast...

 

Welcome to the new year.
