Colourful visitor to our fatball feeder today - making good inroads as she* clung on.
*No red patch on her head, so we definitely have a pair in the area - ref photo earlier in the week
You can see the fresh ground I have been scraping and digging in, located on a slight slope of the hill depicted in the other pics of the sagenite site at Tapado, in Chihuahua, Mexico, a few miles to the southeast of San Carlos Canyon. I collected about thirty pounds from this spot, including an amethyst geode I gave to Jim, before quitting and moving across the arroyo to check out the spot where my helper and guides were digging other agates. It is a little treacherous, due to the cactus plants mixed in with surrounding vegetation and a few scorpions we sometimes dig up with the rocks.
SUCH a gorgeous day today. I wish I didn't have to spend so much of it inside at work but we took a few minutes to play in the yard when we got home. This boy loves to dig! (don't they all?)
That's a full-grown adult chopping ice and all the shloggy stuff that has been falling today: rain first, to create a nice smooth ice skating rink surface on roads, followed by pellets of wet rain that hurt when they thumped into eyeballs, followed by wind and a fluffier layer of snow.
It's pretty.
I guess.
