Get close to it
If it allows
And be amazed
Yeah, it doesn’t take much to impress me these days.

Flight Ready
Arid in the moment
Before dispersion
We’re seen as dead
But ready
Waiting
For wind’s lifting strength
To be found yet alive.
Oleander seeds burst form their pod, waiting for the wind to do her part.

When did we dig
Then eat
Then cook
Then cake?
It’s a conundrum. Heritage carrots are funky to grow but nice to eat.

Suspect every corner
Something may be waiting

As I traversed the trail up the hill, the remnants of an altercation with one of the quail revealed itself.

It’s not ADHD

It’s not.
Is it?
Turkey, quail, coyote, lynx, mice, rabbit, deer, fox. They are all around here doing their life. I bring them around. Entice them so I can see them up close. Well, actually, most of them I don’t bring in. They just show up.
I had high hopes with mourning cloak caterpillars. Maybe I could document some of their life cycle. Then they scattered one night. Not to be seen again. Now it’s the monarch butterfly who’s piqued my interest.
We were gifted a milkweed at Christmas and managed not to kill it since then. I was in the middle of completely ignoring it when one afternoon I caught sight of a monarch circling the plant. Grabbed the FX30 and shot some footage and jpgs. The specimen graced the plant with some eggs and now we’re expecting.
Something new to read up on or “youtube” to get to the bottom of rearing the hopeful new grandkids…grandflies?
Anyway, as usual, I really don’t know anything. You start digging and pretty soon it’s all about propagating more milkweed. “You likely don’t have enough or “Watch out for this, be careful of that.”
It’s a rabbit hole alright.
We’ll see what happens next.
The FX30 is not a photo-centric camera, but it does ok. (No viewfinder…oy)
Still, with a little practice:
What I do like about the camera is 240FPS with 4:2:2 color. Float like a butterfly.
