        Crest of Curiosity

        Here’s an image for tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) lovers. It kind of reminds me of a little guy in a uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, watching a parade go by. I said “guy,” but honestly I have no idea—tufted titmice aren’t sexually dimorphic, so this one could just as easily be a she.

        Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

        "The bird stands perched on a metal surface dotted with round holes, its tiny feet gripping the cool steel as if it owns the moment. It’s a tufted titmouse—small, alert, and full of personality. A soft gray crest rises from its head like a tiny windswept plume, giving it a look of perpetual curiosity. Its eyes are dark and bright, the kind that seem to take in everything at once.

The feathers along its back and wings are a gentle gray-brown, blending smoothly into a pale gray chest. Just beneath, near the tail, a warm wash of yellow glows like a hidden ember—subtle but unmistakably alive. The bird’s posture is upright and attentive, as though it has paused mid-adventure to survey its world.

Behind it, the background melts into a soft blur of earthy tones, making the titmouse appear even sharper, almost luminous. Every feather is crisp, every detail clear, capturing that fleeting moment when a wild creature sits still long enough to be truly seen." - Microsoft Copilot

          Good morning. 🌳🌳🌳

          8 September 2026

          We’re headed to Alexandria this morning for an appointment, and we treat these outings like a full‑blown day on the town. You might even say we’re wilding. We’ll probably grab a bite at some fancy restaurant and maybe wander through Sam’s Club. I know—completely out of control.

          The only downside to making this trip at this time of year is the love bugs. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: they will absolutely decorate the front of my car.

          Honestly, I don’t take my car out much anymore. There’s just nowhere I want to go badly enough to justify the trouble of actually going. Still, it’s only two years old and already has over 10,000 miles on it, mostly from visiting relatives. One day it might qualify as that mythical car driven by a little old man who only took it to church on Sundays. Of course, I’d have to start going to church for that to be true—and I’m not exactly “little.”

          Speaking of driving, something amusing happened at a doctor’s appointment a few days ago. I was asked, “Do you still drive?” It felt like a rite of passage, the same kind of moment as when we stopped at Golden Corral years ago and were automatically given the Senior Citizen discount without asking. Unfortunately, that was nearly two decades ago.

          C’est la vie. The beat goes on, at least for now.

          Nature’s Solitary Sculpture

"The image shows a lone tree standing in shallow water, shaped almost like a natural sculpture. Two trunks rise from the same base, splitting upward as if the tree is stretching in two directions at once. Its leaves are a mix of green and warm brown, giving the sense of a season in transition—summer fading into fall. The water around the tree is calm, gently reflecting its shape, and a small tuft of bright green grass grows at its feet like a tiny island.

Behind the tree, a grassy embankment slopes upward, dotted with smooth rocks that form a natural shoreline. Beyond that, a dense forest of deep green trees creates a rich backdrop, making the solitary tree in the water feel even more striking—almost like it’s quietly standing apart from the rest of the world. The overall mood is peaceful, reflective, and slightly mysterious, as if this tree has a story of resilience and solitude." - Microsoft Copilot

                              Recently a family of Black-tailed deer, 2 females and their fawns, walked towards me and then around me while foraging. They were so close that I could have touched them. I didn't. I remained still.

Its tiny body is angled slightly forward, as if leaning into the air itself. The feathers on its back and head shimmer with iridescent greens — a metallic glow that shifts with the light, like polished emerald. Beneath that brilliance, its underside is soft and pale, a clean white that makes the colors above it seem even more intense.

At the center of the bird’s throat burns a vivid patch of red — the signature ruby that catches the eye immediately. It looks almost like a tiny flame, glowing against the white chest and green crown. The wings are a haze of motion, blurred into soft gray arcs that frame the bird without ever resolving into solid shapes. You can almost hear the faint, rapid hum of their beating.

The background is a wash of muted greens and browns, blurred enough that the hummingbird stands out sharply, as if lit from within. The whole scene feels like a moment caught between heartbeats — a creature so small and fast that seeing it clearly feels like a gift." - Microsoft Copilot

Note that I used a telephoto lens for this photo of a wild marmot in a subalpine meadow on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

It fills up most of the photo and is surrounded by out-of-focus vegetation. It looks at the photographer sideways.

One is supposed to pick the 'holey' leaves for their 'better' properties. Some people even believe the other leaves are poisonous.

                                                                                                                Is there any research on the difference in properties between the uneaten and the 'holey' leaves?
