Meloetta is ready for rehearsal.
Saw this while walking around the neighborhood the other day. #spooky
Frankly, I’m more surprised by the fact that the pay phone is STILL THERE than that it’s not in use, never mind *why*.

A pair of (I think) Western Bluebirds spotted an a late-afternoon walk. #birds

Not 100% certain on the ID, but I do see Western Bluebirds the area regularly.
Kid finished Portal, and soon there will be cake.

A few hours later:
No lie.
Caught in the act
I spotted this squirrel as it ran up to the trash can opening. Once it decided I wasn’t going to leave, it jumped down, then ran past the trash can and apparently found something to eat, though I couldn’t see what.
Flapping Finches
I startled a group of around four or five finches on a lawn and they flew up to the nearest cables.
Two monarch butterflies flying around and chasing each other (slowly) down the block.

Yeah, I realize my explanation for why I’m out here is a bit Farfetch’d, but it’s the truth. You wanna make something of it?

Anita Donut
Yeah, I could use one too, but it turns out they don’t have any at this time of day.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve had a donut since last March. I used to only have them when someone brought a box in at work, or occasionally I’d stop by a donut shop on the way to work. Neither of those have happened for a while.
I don’t think I’ve seen this variety of succulent flowering before. It looks like an overturned Ferroseed or the plant version of the Omnidroid from The Incredibles.

Sparrow
Warning, schmorning. I perch where I want!

(To be fair, the kingbird is unlikely to dig into the pipeline. Or damage the sign. Much.)
Earth, daisies.
I thought I’d posted this a while back, but apparently I haven’t. Think of it as #AmongUs: Vegetable Edition.

I do appreciate the bandage motif for the distancing markers at this urgent care. (Everything’s ok, this was the follow-up visit to an injury last week.)

dentist, covid stats
I’m normally not nervous about going to the dentist, but I’ve got my second pandemic-era visit coming up today. You can’t wear a mask while someone’s working on your teeth.
On the plus side, looking at the covid case rates over time makes me feel better, as LA county is back down to roughly the same rate it was at during my last visit in September (itself postponed from July, which was clearly a good decision).
Cherry blossoms are coming in at the local botanic gardens
Cherry blossoms are coming in at the local botanic gardens. They have a grove with multiple different cherry trees in various stages of waking up for spring (some with a few flowers, some with more flowers and leaves, some still bare), and a few scattered trees elsewhere in the garden – some of which are already covered. But the tree in the fourth shot isn’t even in full bloom yet!
