Sunday morning with Roadie, waiting for rain. I sing, bird listens. I know he doesn't understand the words, but I think he gets the good vibrations. #Roadrunner #birds #interspeciescommunication #singalong #serenade #monsoon

#Narbonne with a very old 1884 lens from when photographers needed to be half artist and half chemist. Exposures were made on rigid glass plates. Chromolithography was used for the colour then, much easier with digital!

Face to face with a young #coyote this morning, I forgot to be quiet and said, "Hello, beautiful." End of conversation. #interspeciescommunication #desertlife #wildlifeartist #songdog
The Lesser-long nosed bats are in town, which means every morning the sugar-water feeders are slurped dry, so I fill them for the daytime crew of hummingbirds and Gila woodpeckers. That's 32 cups a week!

When you go shopping, the whiptail lizards know that it's always good to park in the shade.

"When hummingbirds build a nest, it is compact, dense, designed with tensile strength and lined with soft materials. Clearly, the doves didn’t get that memo." White-winged dove, art/story by Beth Surdut. radio.azpm.org/s/38024-the-...

Skyline

Tawny breath of dawn
Lifting whole worlds by their sails
Skyline enfolds me

It's not just what you give, it's how you give--Roadrunners offer each other presents with their beaks. They don't just throw the goods on the ground. Roadie prefers treats from my thumb and forefinger, my surrogate beak.
