It’s a bird and a plane.
Jots about the bird…
- It looks like a Downy woodpecker.
- It was pecking like this, “tap tap pause, tap tap pause”.
- I wonder what that slim branch could possibly yield.
- I have also seen larger woodpeckers in my yard.
- And I don’t like when they jackhammer on my house!
Jots about the plane…
- It was headed west over my house.
- In the photo, it looks like Wonder Woman’s invisible jet.
- I kept losing it outside of my 35X zoom.
- I once sat next to a guy on a plane who designed jet engines.
- He explained that a simple way to demonstrate how a jet engine works is to blow up a balloon and let it go!

The photo of the jet is crazy. It almost looks like a pastel drawing.

Thanks! I’ll have to use that format more.
You know …
It’s really hard not to envy your photography.
That woodpecker is so so cute. But I figure it’s probably cuter because I can’t hear it…

Thanks Larissa! YOUR photos are amazing! I think the woodpecker is cute too – it looks so soft!
That is the cutest woodpecker I’ve ever seen! I hope one comes to visit me this spring!

I know! As long as they just peck the trees!
That jet photo is amazing!!! I hope that woodpecker leaves your house alone – we have trouble with them sometimes, too, and they are hard to get rid of!
