I've always had a "soft spot" for crows and ravens. For about 5 years, I had a crow with a single white feather on one wing. It would hang around my back yard all summer. I never fed it. It would watch, with what appeared to be great curiosity my fiddling with my trees. I'd talk to it and it would approach a little closer, but never too close. Then one year it never returned.

My son looked out the window a day or two ago and saw this guy on our porch roof.
He's not really a welcome visitor, and I don't want him hanging around here with the rest of his crew, but its pretty cool.
There are more and more of these big birds around the city in the last couple years. Black Vulture, I believe.

Look at this dude all flattened out to look like a piece of bark.

Caught this guy on his way to hide out either in or under my ponderosa pine pot.

I'm not a certifiable bugologist, but your Ladybird ain't no lady. Not round enough. ?

I brought some of my pines in from the rain tonight, and was surprised to find this earthworm crawling through the branches of this mugo. Crazy! I never knew they got off the ground.

A common Green Anole, which are generally some shade of bright green or brown, depending on where they are hunting. In this case, this anole was hanging out on the back door, which is a light blue color. Having grown up with these lizards at every home I've lived in since I was about 7 years old, I've never seen an anole turn itself blue, but this one did. While on the door, he was almost solid blue, but by the time I retrieved my phone and found him, the blue was fading away, but still visible.
Peach faced lovebirds giving my daughters birds grief this morning for being caged. We have a massive population of feral love birds in the valley. Urban legend has it that they were released into the environment because of a fire at a valley pet store and they have thrived ever since.
