In my neighborhood in the spring and summer, if you sleep with the window open and find yourself awake at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning, you will probably be surprised at the cacophony outside. Birds. In the early hours, the birdsong is so enthusiastic, it feels like you’re in the middle of a jungle. It’s pretty neat, and if I was actually truly awake enough at that hour, I’d record some of it and submit it to the BirdNET app for identification.
I started using that app one morning this week while brewing some front step coffee, and have discovered that we have particularly noisy Carolina Wrens (which, not really being a bird person myself, I had never actually heard of until now). You learn something new every day.
We also have a woodpecker, and a nest of baby robins, all of which were in my photos this week.
P.S. I pilfered an album title from the innocence mission to name this post. I hope they don’t mind 🐦🐦
So, what is This Week in Pictures?
It’s a roundup of the microblogging I’ve done on Flickr and Instagram all week. This includes photos I shot for Project 365 and any other extra images I may have posted.
Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S7).
Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…
Saturday
I think peony season is coming to an end in my yard. I cut a few this morning, but they’re not exactly the cream of the crop at this point…
Sunday
I feel like this is a good use of a Sunday afternoon.
Monday
This guy. He was going to town on that tree stump. But that’s ok, because usually he’s pecking my house. A tree stump is a big improvement as far as I’m concerned.
Tuesday
It must be Bird Week around here, because today we found a nest of baby robins in the tree right next to our dining room window! Three fuzzy little guys in there. Still too little to make any noise or open their eyes.
Wednesday
I nearly forgot to take my daily photo today, so it’s a good thing that I came upstairs to find this pretty scene. It’s also a good thing that I didn’t accidentally burn down the house, leaving that candle unattended there like that…
Thursday
I switched out my “knitting on the bed” watch face for my “sitting at the desk” watch face because I need to focus and get stuff done. It’s symbolic, but every little thing helps sometimes!
Friday
I drive past this pretty spot a lot during my lunch hour wandering. I always want to stop and take a picture, and today I finally did.
Thanks for taking a peek at this week’s photos! If you want to see this stuff as it happens, please feel free to follow me on Flickr or Instagram ♥
