I decided instead of my top nine this year, I would post some images that will remind me of this crazy year! It starts off with the first pic I took of the year, then writing on the window during the beginning of the quarantine, Gracie modeling the new “classroom”, a bird rescue, my daughter and friends graduating high school and how they had to adapt to this craziness (and they did a wonderful job of it!) , my neighbors got chickens and a cat (and we lost our dog), crazy storms that did major damage to our neighborhood, lots of lots of bird and nature watching, and the last pic I took this year. That pretty much sums it up. I hope everyone has a wonderful 2021! ❤
Yin & Yang ☯
I miss my hummingbirds!
Did you know that this insect has five eyes? 👀
Yep, the honey bee has five eyes! Something I did not know!
Ok, last one of the spotted cucumber beetle, I promise 😉
Bradford Pear Leaves 🍁
It’s that time of year! I love the patters you can find. I did a few variations of a favorite leaf I found. Do you have a favorite?

Sunset 🐝
I typically don’t see bees around sunset, but this one had to get dessert before heading off to bed 😂
20,000 Teeth 🐌
Did you know that some species of snails can have up to 20,000 teeth (more than any other animal). Wow!

Beautiful Sunday Morning 🌞
A few macro shots from this morning in the front yard
Meet Fuzz Biscuit...😎

Weller 🥃
Meet Weller (yes, like the Bourbon) - a miniature horse that just didn’t like having his picture taken 😂
Time to Reflect 🌊
Western Gull watching the sunset (well probably looking for food, but I like to think he was watching the sunset). Every year we try to make it to San Diego and this year we did not make it. It is one of my favorite places and I am really missing the Pacific Ocean! Next year!

300 Million Years Old 💛
Dragonflies have been around for 300 million years! And they have better eyesight than humans. A few fun facts for your Wednesday. 🙂
Santa Fe Beauty 💙
There is not much in bloom in Santa Fe in early November. They had their first frost the week before we got there so I had to reach to find a few macro shots. We had the most amazing weather there so we were able to walk everywhere! I wish I had a few of the blue spruce trees in our backyard. 😊
Enjoy the Weekend...if you know what's good for you 😠

The Sugar Addict is Back 💛
Taken during sunset yesterday. This little one was all over the feeder to find that sugar water.
Sugar Fix 💛🖤
Did you know that yellowjackets will kill and eat bees to steal their honey? Now that’s an addict! 😂
