Oh. I didn´t realized it. I love Vermeer´s light.
They love paper bags.
I wish I could make something as beautiful as it someday.
Your little contraption is so cooI. It is like a kind of âbird aquariumâ. Do you get many visitors?
Ok, so youâre not painting like Vermeer (and really, no one else is either), but your photography is something special, whether of birds or your very photogenic cats.
So far our squirrel, Mrs. Feral, and the starlings. The starlings are getting more comfortable.
We had a driving sustained rain drenching that window the other day, it leaked but I came up with a way to seal it with some thin flashing. Thatâs my next project.
Simba looks just like our third kitty, Pablo. He even had tooth pulled that gave him that Dick Cheney grrr look. 
Old Man is now sleeping most of the day. His new favorite spot is on top of the dryer even when itâs not on. He can barely get up there.
He was sleeping in the hall again, we stepped over him several times unloading groceries and he never stirred.
Does this look comfortable?
Lovely birds, but what is that squirrel??!!
Iâm afraid we were not properly introduced.
A punk one.
Perhaps this is the little guy?
Abertâs squirrel is found in the mountainous areas of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Wyoming and north central Mexico.
Were you by any chance in a coniferous forest?
Oh, sorry, I didnât realize that was a sincere question. It was in a (mostly) coniferous forest, but in Lithuania, where the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is the only native species.
It was a looong winter here in Minnesota, with a lot of snow cover. I see bushes here and there all around the neighborhood with some boughs that are stripped of bark [see photo, below]. Iâve never seen this before.
Most are lower boughs, and I was assuming it was rabbits. But some of the stripped boughs are four feet or so off the ground. That seems a bit high for rabbits, doesnât it? Or no? If not rabbits, what would have eaten the bark?
