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 🐦🐦
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.
TWiP: Slacker (2020) Since I am working full time from home now, my personal desk is now my work desk, and I just don't want to be here on such a constant basis. So, I pretty much didn't turn the computer on at all on Saturday or Sunday. Or many of the other nights this week. I'm finally doing this now, because I really, really don't want to end up in a situation where I am posting two TWiPs on one day.
TWiP: Off the hook and on the needles (2015) I finished crocheting a blanket, and then I got back to knitting a sweater-in-progress. It's been a stitchy week.
Weekend Favorites (2014) It's been a quiet week at Polka Dot Cottage. But at least we have Weekend Favorites :-)
Ancient history (2010) Allow me to dust-off the admin panel here for a moment - it's been entirely too long since my last
