Visitor

This little character showed up for a few days.  Cuter than heck.  Sad to say the neighbor’s cat put an end to his colorful life the same day these photos were taken.   I never would have noticed this beautiful animal if I hadn’t looked out my window, away from my computer monitor. Some people may not quite understand why I get so wrapped up in the natural world.   All I can offer is that a lifetime of observation brings its own rewards. Sometimes it is difficult to tell what things were like just from a picture.  Here is a soundtrack of eight minutes in my San Diego backyard the day these photos were taken.
