Home on the range.


This is a quail running across our deck railing on the second floor. Then a roadrunner did a little hop, fly across the street- you could see the strips on it's wings distinctly- but it was too far away to get a good picture. Then a big bright yellow butterfly flew over my head and all the world was happy.

See that little bit of evergreen branch on the right- the quail then jumped into the tree and I can still hear it's distinctive call... there's another quail answering it a little ways down the street... ah- springtime in the dessert-
