Today’s prompt is to list 10 images from the past 24 hours. Before I start the list, allow me to talk about this photo. It was taken slightly more than 24 hours ago. This very, very round California quail stopped by for a visit the other day. According to Wikipedia it is a male quail. He stared at me for a while, turning his head as I snapped the photo, then scurrying away under the safety of the hedge.
Here is my list:
- bumble bees collecting pollen and nectar from the garden flowers
- injured young doe struggling to walk across the back lawn
- my 15-yr old organ student happy to receive positive feedback
- butchering the lawn edges with the new weed-whacker
- delicious soup full of fresh garden herbs simmering on the stove
- the most musically intuitive student I have ever taught, interpreting a new piece
- hundreds of plugs of soil left behind by the aerator, looking like goose droppings
- excited, tail-wagging dogs greeting me as they walk by
- birds chirping in the trees before sunrise
- small piles of sand that the ants are digging up from under the driveway
