Creek is back for morning autumn peanuts! It's been a while, I've missed the grackly ones around my house. These visits are but for a few days and then they leave until spring breeding season.

When she was younger, our dog would want to chase. She eventually learned that was not acceptable and lost the impulse completely. In her daily wanderings in search of peanuts, the critters noticed her disinterest for them and stuff like this just started happening. There's no leash here.
Baby cottontails nursing and being tucked in for the night.
No ordinary clump of dead grass on the lawn, on other days:

I saw two Black-capped Chickadees, one on he ground in the bush and one up in a medium sized tree right next to the back doorway of my house. To me, the white cheeks, black cap and grey back cannot be anything other than a Black-capped Chickadee.
