The Delicate and the Dead

I was pleasantly surprised to meet this little visage in my desert garden this evening.

He let me get my face inches close to him and I couldn't resist, I actually held him in my hands... then he fluttered away. What a magical moment to hold and inch and a half of hummingbird in my hands.

I am pleased to introduce the Dead part of our exhibit today....

This beauty was thankfully found, although not yet dead, outside my home :)

Kurt's Concert

So Kurt's acappella group opened a concert for T-Minus 5 on saturday.

He started this group on the phone about 4 weeks ago.

They haven't been practicing together for very long

But the concert was pretty good :)

It was near Zion's National Park... georgeous! You will be seeing photos of this place soon.

Jaxon's Trophy

I have discovered some exciting new house guests. The first one I found in my room and I politely allowed him to live and escorted him outdoors where I hope he stays. The second did not meet such fortune, as Jaxon found him too interesting to leave alone. Thus he became Jaxon's Trophy... a little marred by the playful capture, as he lost a claw, but whole none the less.

That's my mighty hunter....
