The Diva Naps chair throw was washed and dried and I put it on my extra chair until I could position it on my office chair, Priscilla Grace found it and has spent two days off and on sleeping there, it seems to be her escape from the rampaging kitten, shot in North Carolina.

Look at my new design pattern! Red-naped Sapsucker feeding on an Aspen tree near Ketchum, Idaho
"Red-naped Sapsuckers are industrious woodpeckers with a taste for sugar. They drill neat little rows of holes in aspen, birch, and willow to lap up the sugary sap that flows out. The presence of sap wells is a good indication that they are around, but so are their harsh wailing cries and stuttered drumming."

It had one eye partially open keeping an eye on me
Big barred owl think she's a female looks like the one I seen couple weeks ago good to see its still around
Western Sandpipers (1 of 2)
There are two sizes of birds in this flock - a few of the birds are clearly larger than the others. I think that the larger birds may be Dunlins.

Christmas Day
You know the feeling...
Nice lunch and it's time for an afternoon nap
And we did see this owl catch a vole earlier in the day so with a bit of warm sunshine everything in the world was right
Merry Christmas sleepy head!

Jake is just starting to be comfortable around me. Mostly he hustles away after being in a window sniffing the lovely spring/summer air (another picture of that in a bit). This day he jumped up on the couch and hunkered down— small steps
Naps are always a good idea! A pair of Yellow-crowned Night Herons resting from nest construction in process.

Nothing quite like a late morning nap on a warm spring day.

The Paiute tribe called this lake “Wit-sa-nap.” They believed that lake Wit-sa-nap was created by the Great Spirit as a safe haven for the magical fish—infused with the spirits of children—that swim through the surrounding mountains streams.
The lake is now called Convict Lake, a story I will include in a future posting.
Happy Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

This week's theme was an easy one for me since you can find me on the floor most of the time :) chose this one and hope it makes you smile - it is our cat napping in the sunshine, guarded by our little deer made of stone. Happy SoS! Have a good weekend and stay safe
Wikipedia: The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies. Subspecies diffusus breeds in eastern Siberia, Ussuriland, northeastern China, Korea and northern Vietnam and is widespread across India during winter, mainly in the northeastern parts and in the peninsular region and also found in Bangladesh. The population in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are resident. In winter, populations breeding in eastern Asia spend the winter in the tropical areas of Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Myanmar. Subspecies diffusus is an uncommon migrant in many parts of South India and very rare migrant to Sri Lanka and are most regularly seen in the Western Ghats. In Singapore they are believed to have established as breeders only in the 1920s and are today common even within gardens in the city. In the 1880s they were considered rare.

The red-naped ibis (Pseudibis papillosa) also known as the Indian black ibis or black ibis is a species of ibis found in the plains of the Indian Subcontinent. Unlike other ibises in the region it is not very dependent on water and is often found in dry fields a good distance away from water. It is usually seen in loose groups and can be told by the nearly all dark body with a white patch on the shoulder and a bare dark head with a patch of crimson red warty skin on the crown and nape. It has a loud call and is noisy when breeding. It builds its nest most often on the top of a large tree or palm.

Chalcothraupis ruficervix ruficervix -Prévost & Des Murs, 1842- (Golden-naped tanager / Tangara nuquirrufa)
The golden-naped tanager is found in South America from Colombia to Bolivia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Six subspecies are recognised.
Golden-naped tanagers have plumage similar to those of the metallic-green tanager, the swallow tanager and the blue-and-black tanager as adults of all three species are primarily blue with black facial masking, however, the golden-naped tanager is the only primarily blue tanager with a golden or reddish crown patch or nape.
Photographed at La Minga Ecolodge near Cali in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, this Golden-naped Tanager (Chalcothraupis ruficervix) perched briefly on a clean, sunlit branch, revealing its turquoise body, dark wings and the warm golden patch at the nape. The soft background created natural separation without distraction, allowing the color transitions and feather detail to stand out. The even illumination helped maintain accurate tones while avoiding the typical harsh contrasts found in broken forest light.
From a technical standpoint, the challenge was waiting for the bird to step into consistent light and angle slightly toward the lens. Its alert posture provided depth across the head and chest, and the long focal length rendered the background smooth while holding crisp detail on the subject. Timing was essential, as this species moves quickly through midlevel foliage. For me, this frame reflects the value of patience and positioning in montane forest photography.
