Is it really only 1.30?

[tiggymalvern]

At 4.30 this morning, the coyotes held a howling competition in the garden, and it was already coming light with clear skies. So instead of swearing vengeance on everything four-pawed and furry, I got out of bed and went to Marymoor for the weekly bird walk.


5.30am, the last of the mist burning from the fields.




Always look behind you! Ten of us walked past the bald eagle sitting right over the path glaring at us, because it was invisible from the other side of the tree.


9am. I need to learn more words for cloud types - cirrocumulus, I think?


And by 11.30am it was effectively overcast, with a few weak sunny intervals straggling through the clouds. Correct decision!

I need to learn more words for cloud types...

Poofy.

That's the kind of clouds those are. XD

That first picture, could I please beg the original from you? That would be so lovely on my work desktop wallpaper. I've been using some of the pics from your vacation since you sent me those. Everyone who sees them always comments and asks where I got it :)

Oh, and thank you for my PFLAG rhino! *glomps*

Sent!

I like your description far more than the scientific one, it's a lot more genuine :-)

The rhino's cute, you're cute, and it's all in a good cause, there is no lose!

Does this horn make my butt look fat to you? XDDDDD

Thanks for the picture! Can't wait to get it on my desktop, it's gonna look soooo good there and will take me away for a few brief moments when I need the break at work :)

I guess if it's your work machine, you can't have a desktop of hot, naked guys ;-)

And it's really too bad about that, too, dammit. Of course, if I could have hot, naked guys on my desktop, I'd never be able to get my boss out of my office. The picture of him drooling over my desk isn't pretty. XD

I think I can safely say I've never had a boss who would do that lol

We were at Marymoor Tuesday after work, and Calvin was trotting in the direction of the Audoban Birdloop - I said "Calvin! That's not for you! That's for TIGGY!!!" Nice to see you used it so promptly. :-)

Wow - AMAZING shot of eagle!

It's surprising how many birds do hang around in the dog area of the park - they don't seem to care at all. For the last week, a least flycatcher (which rightly belongs in the far eastern part of the state) has set up home in the trees right by Dog Central, where the bulletin boards are by the swimming area. Next time you go there, listen for the non-stop loud CHE-BIK CHE-BIK :-)

Lovely.

The coyotes were at it again this morning. I swear, there really is something to the trope of dog-kind and a full moon....
