Chipmunk On Patio — Image by kenne
On November 9th, I posted “A Patio Visitor.” It has been returning almost daily and seems to feed
mostly on seeds falling from the bird feeders. We enjoy watching it dash around on the patio.

If it doesn’t move
It’s not easy to see it
It knows how to blend.

A male cardinal
Bright red in the morning sun
A year-round neighbor.
Not seen, but nearby
the muted colored female
Proceeds with caution.

Two-tailed Swallowtail On Meyer Lemmon Tree — Image by kenne
I don’t know why
but I’m pleased
swallowtails seem
to love our patio
Meyer lemon tree
making it easy for
me to set nearby
photographing these
beautiful butterflies.

Curve-billed Thrasher Video 3 comments
This curve-billed thrasher was one of two on the neighbor’s ocotillo plant that I videoed in the following clip. — kenne
Chlorophyll captures hard radiation
My plumage explodes forth with colors bright
Transmutes into my dream’s pigmentation
In proud defiance of sun’s bleaching light
My plumage explodes forth with colors bright
I sprout a thousand flames rose tangerine
In proud defiance of sun’s bleaching light
Brush bold orange on the baked desert scene
