This is the older of our two male yard cardinals. Yardinals, if you will. I love him.

Day 4 Twa young corbies (crows). Terrible photo but shows the rose trellis around the old garden bench with the trellis made from driftwood gathered from the nearby shingle beach. The two fledgling crows like to sit on the trellis, wandering up and down. Today they made at least a dozen good tries at flying from the trellis to the top of the bench. Mom and Pop are delivering meals at fairly regular intervals.

Of all the crappily focused, or badly exposed, or poorly composed (or combinations of all three) photos I took yesterday these I kinda like.

Perhaps for their technical failures, being emblematic of the day.
