Overexposure
photographer’s fault not bird’s
hey, no need to jump
anthropomorphizing
Hey ho! Let’s Go!
Okay, this is a stretch.
Coco isn’t a Ramones fan
and she doesn’t sing Blitzkrieg Bop.
Still.
This expression, as she stands at the door waiting to be let inside for dinner, just screams HEY! HO! LET’S GO!
Or maybe I’m projecting a punk attitude on her because I know how when that door opens she’ll run inside and her back legs will go out from under her as she negotiates the turn to her food dish. Pure mosh pit enthusiasm.
Hey! Ho!

Hooping friend
I’m not 100% positive, but am pretty sure this bunny
enjoys hooping and/or funky hooping music.
This guy/gal sat outside my picture window this morning,
watching and listening as I hoop-danced to
Aretha’s “Respect”
Aretha’s “Rock Steady”
Stevie’s “Higher Ground”
and more.
Know what this means?
I’ve got a new hooping buddy who happens to be a bunny
which makes him/her my hooping bunny buddy.
Try saying that three times real fast.

Every gaudy color is a bit of truth
Today I was treated to a Western Tanager sighting.
Public domain photo that I wish I’d caught.
As before when I spotted one of these birds, I wondered what it’s like to wake up every day looking so very eye-catching. Is there a lot of pressure associated with displaying those bold colors? Are there days when the tanagers wish they were more finch-like and adorned with dull, brown feathers?
Yes, I realize I’m anthropomorphizing.
But that doesn’t stop those wheels from turning in my head.
