A twofer walk report

 I've got a lot going on across multiple computers in relation to photo projects so I'm a bit behind. Some of the photos I'm working on date back to the mid-70's (yes, let it be known, I was an infant photographer). To complicate matters further, on the computer side, my scanning station, dates back to 2001. And. It. Is. Slow. It couldn't be helped but more on that later. 

Here are photos from this weekend, both yesterday and today.

Saturday, Feb. 18.

Aeonium arboreum.

Male Calypte anna hummingbird, Dusty.

Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii).

Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura).

Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos)

Male Calypte anna hummingbird, not Dusty. The shrub is Tecoma capensis.

Western honey bee (Apis mellifera).

Today I really struggled, got out late with the sun in the wrong place and I ended up cutting things short. Docken was on the phone with me both days so I had someone to complain to. Thank you Dockie, sorry for the moans and groans.

Male Calypte anna hummingbird, Dusty was my only living subject today. He's a handsome lad!

Even if he can be a bit rude.

Then there was this. I have frequently parked my car in this spot when the campus entrance was closed and I had to hoof it to the garden. Somebody had a really bad night and I suspect the fence owners weren't too pleased either.

Though I have to say, I was impressed after reading the low wattage requirements on the head of the LED street lamp.
