Spot the squirrels!
I heard noises from this palm tree and went to look. I couldn't quite catch *what* was moving up there at first, so I just pointed the camera up to where I saw movement and took a few shots. Turned out to be these two squirrels, who then chased each other around the trunk, chittering and knocking debris down.

Gotta love it when I end up committing two change sets with descriptions like:
“Fix bug xyz”
And then, after pushing or merging or fixing something else:
“Really fix bug xyz”

The last Blockbuster standing is still open during the pandemic, doing curbside service and social distancing. https://www.indiewire.com/2020/05/blockbuster-video-store-surviving-pandemic-1202231221/
Went for a walk in the rain this morning. It usually doesn’t rain much here after April, but we got a couple of hours of drizzle today.
Some of the local wildlife spotted at the gardens.
I didn’t have much luck photographing #birds this time, but I did catch some good shots of this one. Though I’m not sure what it is. Maybe a warbler?
This #squirrel was one of three that scattered as I approached a trail junction. The other two hid. This one froze. It blended in very well!
And while I *saw* lots of #butterflies, this mourning cloak is the only one that held still long enough for me to get a #photo.
Some flowers and a tree that puts out deep red leaves in spring. It wasn’t labeled, but I think it’s a Krauter Vesuvius plum. Lit from the front the leaves are a deep purple. Lit from behind they’re this super-bright red.

Finally made it out to the botanical gardens up in the hills for a hike. They’ve actually stayed open this whole time by requiring reservations to limit the number of people on the grounds at a time. (Also face masks, distancing, and closing off benches and some sections.)
Ironically there were more people there than I usually see. The limits must be against an increased demand due to the fact that they were actually open!

Birb, or serious bird? What a difference a few seconds makes!
