We're going to Mercey Hotsprings tomorrow, and coming back the next day. We have to pack in all the food and water, though we'll be sleeping in a real bed. Go figure.

Anyway, here's me and my culvert at Snapshot Day:




And here's a chestnut-backed chickadee   house sparrow (per carandol's correction) I found at a gas station on that day:




And here's a bunch of sea lions and cormorants on Seal Rock, just off Steamer Lane:



And here's a passion flower. When I was a little girl, my friends and I would pretend they were flying saucers full of tiny aliens.




And now to bed. I'm all groggy in the daytime as it is.

When I saw the chestnut backed chickadee, I thought no, that's a house sparrow! Having found photos of both with Google image search, I'm still inclined to the latter, though they are quite similar. But I don't know if you have house sparrows in your neck of the woods. They used to be very common in England when I was a kid but are getting quite rare due to changing farming practices.

On another note, if you trim that photo just about the lettering, and put it on a white background, it looks really cool, because the bird appears to be sitting on the photo frame! :-)

No, you're right -- I was unsure of myself last night, but I went with it because I knew we have a lot of those chickadees, even though the bill wasn't quite right. When I compare them side by side, it's quite clear, though, that it was a house sparrow, not a chickadee, because of the shape of that bill. Oh well, teaches me a lesson about the little brown birds!

What a neat idea about trimming the photo.

I love the passion flower play. LOL
