Catch Up! 10-17-2024
I have been really lazy lately. This post has a mishmash collection of photos taken from October 10th through October 17. Most are taken in the back yard. Some are taken during a birdwalk in the Sanctuary of Headwaters at Incarnate Word. In keeping with my lazy state of mined, I will only label the ones that I feel need it.
 I watched this guy hiding in the basil for a while after witnessing him catch and devour a honey bee! |

I was using macro for this shot. The bee took issue with it and flew at me! |

This hawk was already perched in the tree when I arrived for the bird walk. |
No matter where I stood, I couldn't get a good shot because of the light behind it. |
There were several phoebes in the trees as we waited to start the walk. |
This is Pam Ball introducing newbies to the Sanctuary. |
Patsy Inglet and her husband Tom led the walk. They are my favorite birders. |

These are seed pods on my Lindheimer's Senna. |

The Brasil (Bluewood Condalia) trees in my wild zone are loaded with berries. They really need some rain, though. |
This is a view of the house as seen from behind the Wild Zone and the corner of the backyard. |
These are my volunteer chiltepin peppers growing in Jared's herb garden. |

This is a seed pod on the esperanza. |

My hackberry trees are loaded with fruit. I hope to see lots of cedar waxwings coming to feed on then! |

This was my lunch after the gym today. It is a cold brew with oat milk. |
I filled the bird feeders today. Look who heard about it. |
