Some of life spoke to me today through you. I loved the heron overflight. Why is he Rick James? And I too can never get enough of flickers in flight.

Thanks again, Karen. You’re the best.

Thank you. I don’t know why Rick James. Maybe because I live in a jazz town and the old fisherman I think are jazz fans.

Well, a heron named Rick James is really cool and that’s good enough.

How does the box elder have a single leaf left on it, after the wind and rains of this time of year? The magic of nature and Dr. Seuses! ✨😃 Happened to see a short video of a little boy and a crow today on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's substack that I thought you might get a smile from. https://youtu.be/d1iQYXcG7Nk

Those are boxelder flowers, all right! And yes, they are quite Seussian. Fun! Lovely photos, all, and it's especially a treat to see so much water as we're dry here in the high desert where water is scarcer than usual. Thank you!
