Photos from home

When you are stuck at home, but can still take lots of photos from your front yard, it makes things seem a little less confining.

A pretty little Cattle Egret, with its mating plumage, landed in our frangipani tree and posed for me.

When the gym is shut down, you have to use whatever is at hand to get in your stretches!

The top of this tall tree across the street, burned when the house on the lot burned down about 7 years ago. The dead part at the top has become a perch for birds. But, as nature does, it has sent up another branch to be the new top. It makes me wonder if there will eventually be a bird nest on the dead part.

The vulture below was soaking up the morning sun.

Later, an osprey seems to be checking out the perch.

The next day, the osprey was standing on top, in the same way, with another osprey beside it.

The eagles still visit the distant nest every now and then. The dead tree makes for bleak photos, though.
