Fantastic Ground Squirrel photos SP! That is California Ground Squirrel, I think the old binomial was Citellus variegatus. I learned them as beechei, which is the subspecies, if you like trinomials. In Orange and even LA Counties in the 60 and 70's they were still common and co-habitate burrows with Burrowing Owls. Any pix I have of them together are un-scanned slides though. In the other areas in the west the Owls use Prairie Dogs to co-habitate with. GREAT photos!
I like the subjects and lighting on your still life shots, Janis.
This squirrel stopped by my backyard the other morning.

Great pics as always Janis! Awesome light. I see a Llama in the shadow of the bottom one. Eye of the beholder and all...
Thanks for being here...

Though, I guess, a "still life", the top one is full of motion for me.
Here's our Rosemary bush, currently blooming, planter is a 30 inch cube
A rubber plant amid some succulents, also currently blooming
be well and have a good one

That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
It has a very short brim, enough to protect my eyes from the sun, but not so long that I keep knocking it off against branches when I'm out pruning or picking fruit. I can see the effect though since the brim doesn't show in the shadow from the angle.

Here are some birds feeding on seed in the paths I cleared in the snow.
These are Chipping Sparrow shoulder to shoulder, just a part of the flock which during the snow numbered about 225. This through window and screen so sorry about that... was too cold to open up to shoot straight.

We have electricity, dsl, store has limits but the basics, gas station sold me a little gas, we're good to go. Heard my first Sandhill Cranes flying north overhead this afternoon. White-fronted Geese should be any day soon too. Ground is turning green with sprouty things.
Be well all, play it safe!

It looks like the path to heaven for your sparrows.
Your yellow-headed blackbird looks cold. I've never seen that beautiful bird before.
I’m glad you’re not a refugee of Texastan for now.
Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing well...

@janis b
the gorgeous photos. Our flock sparrows eating the seeds in the snowy/icy pathway are the same, they come regularly as if they had their own dinner and lunch times. Our squirrels are different. Brown. Wish me luck and one day I finally pull out my camera and put it on the patio to film our 'wild life'. Two years ago we had a deer who had lost his/her way from the woods into our garden and couldn't find a way back. It was quite a treat to 'chat' with the deer. Otherwise we chat with a lot of other birds, whose English names I am too lazy and tired to look up. We also have a cute mouse and we used to have a hedgehog passing our patio. He didn't come back, so we got a hedgehog house for him and put it where he was last seen. But he never came back. I miss him. Hedgehogs are our family's mascot. Oh well, I don't blame him to not come back. Who would like a nut family like ours.

Needless to say I was momentarily bewildered since you got a great shot of a Pyrrhuloxia in flight and some obvious male HOFI. Great shots of Pyrrhuloxia in the top frame too.

In the first photo
saw a face
second a buffalo
hung heavy
thanks for sharing

Hi QMS
What kind of face, where? I'd like to see it too. Maybe the white fluffy stuff?
I too always see an animal. Usually I think camel, but buffalo works well.
Have a wonderful weekend

I was trying to follow what you were imagining. Following your imagination is always enchanting.
if you follow the black edge to the left
and project your imagination rightward
you see the lips at the bottom
the chin going up from below
swinging into the neck
proceeding aft.
The spike at the top is an ear.
Thanks Janis B

Thanks for Friday Photos tonight, Janis.
I like the subjects and lighting on your still life shots, Janis.
This squirrel stopped by my backyard the other morning.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
wonderful ability to capture critters sp
the abilities you folks expose
by clicking a shutter button
is amazing
thanks!

Hi Social
What a beautiful coat the squirrel wears. In the last photo at the bird bath s/he looks cat-like.
Triangle, delicious in space
unfilled, earth's power bringing focus. Love it, janis. Thank you for capturing.
Hi smiley
Thank you for your poetic and ethereal perspective. I enjoyed it.
beautiful photos Janis!

A lama, yes, or
maybe an Alpaca? Now whenever I look at it I will think of all the varied animals it might be.
Good evening Janis. Thanks for the Friday Photos.

Thank you for that el
I see the motion now.

Looks like an Arabian style hat you’re sporting.
Hi Janis - It's actually a style called a "cadet cap".
It has a very short brim, enough to protect my eyes from the sun, but not so long that I keep knocking it off against branches when I'm out pruning or picking fruit. I can see the effect though since the brim doesn't show in the shadow from the angle.
