Mitred Parakeets: I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees.

Mitred Parakeets:

I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees. These were the first two I spotted, and they stayed together like that for the whole time I was there.

Morrell House

The Morrell House, originally built around 1906, now restored in association with the Redondo Beach Historical Museum.

One of these days I’m actually going to go there when it’s open, instead of stopping on the way somewhere else.

I did decide that the hidden light and the old house might have some #spooky potential, and ran it through some effects filters. Not sure if I succeeded.

Morrell House

The squirrel turned around and planted itself firmly, staring at me as if ready to defend its hoard.

I saw this squirrel running across the grass, then got my camera out and caught the first photo as it ran up the side of a tree and paused, looking at me as if assessing whether I was a threat or not. Then it ran the rest of the way up to look at a gap in the tree, perhaps assuring itself that its stash was still where it had left it. I walked around to see that there was a hollow between the two major branches, and the squirrel turned around and planted itself firmly, staring at me as if ready to defend its hoard.

My photos taken, I walked away.
