American Goldfinch trying to act all innocent and blend in after totally destroying one of the Sunflowers on my back patio.
For this weeks theme of guilty pleasures in Macro Mondays group.
I've always had a passion for shiny heels and it's definitely my guilty pleasure when I get another pair that I really don't need and certainly can't afford! 😊
I enjoy doing diamond painting occasionally. What I don't enjoy is the amount of time spent sitting therefore I feel guilty while at the same time enjoying it. This is a large canvas of dragonflies. Although a work in progress I did curl the canvas and shine a light inside the curl to brighten the colours. I quite liked how I have a narrow band of focus with fall off before and after.
This section is just over 2.5" so well within the size limit.
I came outside & heard a Sparrow couple really tellin' it one morning & It didn't take long to discover what they were upset about. This guy had his head buried in the birdhouse. I tugged on his tail & as he backed out it was quite evident he was guilty. I think the shadow of his head & the feathers is as remarkable as the real thing. Things like this are sad, but hey..... snakes have to make a living too! It's all a part of Mother Natures amazingly complex world.
A court in Ecuador has found Chevron guilty of massive environmental pollution and human rights violations in the Amazon, and has ordered the company to pay $8 billion to clean it up. But Chevron has vowed to appeal the decision, and clearly plans to stall indefinitely, hoping never to pay its due. So the Change Chevron team got together with our friends and allies at Amazon Watch, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, and Communities for a Better Environment (of Richmond, CA) headed down to Chevron’s HQ in San Ramon, CA, and delivered a message to the company: Chevron was found guilty because the company is guilty. Time to accept responsibility and clean up the oily mess in Ecuador!

I love nuts of all kinds especially almonds and cashews. I can't stop eating them once I start especially if I have an ice cold beer to wash them down with. Almonds are good for your heart right? Happy Macro Monday.
Charlie, 11 weeks old, and totally orally fixated. He was only at it for a spilt second, but I wanted to capture that expression before I scooped him up and distracted him from eating the plants.
Five Embarrassing Songs on my iPod:
1. Addicted by Simple Plan - This song was popular when I was like, seventeen, and it just reminds me of simpler times.
2. Rearranged by Limp Bizkit - Ok, this one = really embarrassing. I am, by no means, a Limp Bizkit fan and hesitated before admitting I have one of their songs on my iPod, but this song resonates with me.
3. Crawling by Linkin Park - Same deal, basically. I'm not a fan of the band but I like the song.
4. Stay by Lisa Loeb - Hahaha. I have no defense. This song reminds me of my 90s childhood. For quite a while, every morning when I woke up for school, this video would be playing on MTV without fail.
5. Beautiful Life & All That She Wants by Ace of Base - Same. My sister used to be obsessed with Ace of Base when she was little, and these are kind of feel-good songs. ...I probably have "I Saw The Sign" on here too. =X
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
Underneath my skin,
you were always my original sin
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
This dangerous game
you were always my original sin ..

Thoughts on the lonely ranch....
Do hummers have conscience's? Do they go to Heaven ? If not how does a hummingbird sin ? If they're not in Heaven do I want to be there ? Ever looked at the word Con - Science ?
What do they think about all day ? Do they worry about heart attacks with heart beats of 1,200 per MINUTE !?! Since they live 4 to 6 years and supposedly can remember the location of good flowers do they see my Ranch with it's 18 feeders as Heaven ? Does that make me a God to them ? And most of all where the hell do they all go to sleep (hibernate) every night?
Ummm...back to cooking up and distributing another daily 2.5 gallon pot of sweet nectar........
Old Rhum and dark chocolate , my Guilty Pleasure for MacroMondays.
Song by Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb.
