What's That You Say? Hummingbirds?
 |
| Rather cheery for January, eh? |

This photo...
...and this are of the same bird. How does it change the arrangement of its mask so dramatically? Are the edge feathers large and easily repositioned?

| Geeses. And coots. |
 |
| A medley of ducks. And coots. |
 |
| Is this immature eagle? I dunno. Is not coot. |
 |
| Other geeses and ducks. And coots. |
 |
| Geeses on wing. Coots on water. |
 |
| Segregated ponds. Turtle at foregound left on log, ducks (and coots) sleeping at center, and stilty-wading birds at back (and coots.) |
 |
| Geeses. And coots. |
 |
| Geeses. And coots. |

Surgery is FUN!!! Mom's adventures over Thanksgiving.
| Warning: an image below is of stapled knee surgery incision. Tidy and precise, but real. |
 |
| Ready for the knee replacement adventure |
 |
| Post-surgery: What hit me? |
 |
| Fleurs from well-wishers |
 |
| Soup can be dangerous if you fall asleep holding the bowl. |
 |
| Grounds at Stanford Hospital had many flowers. Good smells |
 |
| The knee. Those are staples, not stitches, and the writing is confirms choice of knee. |
 |
| Gigi pursuing some therapy of her own. |
 |
| Well, at least Gigi is feeling better. Mom has been relocated to rehab across the street from the Stanford Shopping Center. |
 |
| Gosh! More tea. |
 |
| But there is cake! |
