Close to everything, the drawer microwave is convenient and takes no upper cabinet space. Electric pop-up outlets are perfect for plugging in crock pots or fry pans or warming trays on the island, out of the way of the wall counters.
This hawk would attack me every time I took her picture, (we have been watching them for several years), she brushed my ear once when she came at me from behind, she usually came at me directly , she would get to about two feet from my face, then sharply veer off, as i lowered my camera. I made sure i did not annoy her to much, but it gave her a bit of excercise...They raised three babies in the nest. As a side note, I would see her fly into the oak tree, and as soon as she did, the woodpecker would really start making noise. I found out after about a year, the noise was not a woodpecker, we have relativly few here, it was in fact her.
Look close at her eye....
Maulden Woods
Bright light sharp focus intense
skies, birds calling all around
Hiding in their green drapes yellow
splashes edge the rides and catkins
shine against blue skies while golden moss
climbs around Ash and Willow to reach
Gold Crests, minute and squeaking
quietly high above.
Beside the ride ditches full reflect the forest
Jewels and fringed by hanging sedge,
sharp and resolute, stiff and everywhere.
Tinged with green, Hawthorn , buds of pink
Cherry Plum holds for that next warm day
to burst forth the Messiahs of Spring.
It fills your heart with a joy that lifts
a dimmed heart and mind from Winter
sadness ,that imagined yellow fluttering
of Brimstone and dark Admirals where Bryony
creep and cream flowers cling as Honeysuckle
entices pollinators to one's mind eye.
Today is calm and flooded by a technicolour
that dims and shines as puffy cumulus
briefly shades the scene.
Underfoot greyed, dried leaves of Oak mingle mud
while hopping to blossom Blue Tits
anxiously call and pronounce their domain claims
and search for sustenance as I wondered to the
presence of hope only limited by
the expectations of three score and ten.

Day 5 - Sharp (and clearly the focus on the picture was not sharp but I only had my phone with me & not my Canon - must learn to carry it at all times!!!)
I recommend you view the original size, just to give you an idea on the detail with this lens. Generally, look at the pigment in the nose.
This sharp-tailed snake (Contia tenuis) was found in one of my plots in Mill Hill Regional Park in Langford. One of the rarest snakes in Canada and under threat of extinction due to habitat loss from development, these elusive critters, about the size of a pencil, spend most of their time underground and are almost never seen on the surface. However, this one was casually nestled down in the moss by a rock when I found it. This sighting documents an entirely new location for this species so I was excited to tell my friend Christian, who researches these snakes, about it.
