Beautiful day in Boring!

Knitting this scarf with yarn that Anela brought home for me from Switzerland!

Rhododendrons in our garden.

The Western Tanager came back on the 15th, like he does every year!

When we first moved from Idaho to Oregon, this is the house we rented.

Male House Finch is back, too!

I went to the fish store to get food for our koi, and as always, visited the tropical fish tanks. This is a Powder Blue Tang.

And this is crazy! My Bird of Paradise is blooming three months early!

We have nesting Violet-Green Swallows!

I rescued a juvenile Orange-Crowned Warbler!

Lovely nighttime photo:

Springtime view across Sunshine Valley:

Wonderful old barn near Eagle Creek.

So nani!

A family of Mourning Doves on our driveway:

Black-Headed Grosbeak males. They are so beautiful, and their song is magic! Even if they do wake me up at 5:30 in the morning singing.

Three daily hummingbirds!
