From the Ground to the Treetop

 Green anole on the ground. The longest tail I've seen on one.

 New bird in the tree and pecking on the window. He has a long beak, a pale yellow breast, and a melodious call of two notes. I think it's a Western Kingbird, his breast seems too pale to be a Tropical Kingbird.

Crow's nest in the treetop. A pair has been taking turns bringing food for a couple of weeks.

Hanging Out

Outside my window this anole lizard has been hanging out. I was finally able to get a shot of him in his threatening stance with his throat or dewlap puffed out. He bobs his head up and down and then he puffs out his dewlap pouch to warn other males from his territory. The pouch is also puffed out to attract females.

This is one of my hand pinched meditation bowls just listed in my Etsy Shop. I sold another one of these to the same customer, she said they make great gifts.

My salt and pepper server was featured in a Etsy treasury called 'Out of the Salt Mines'. I never knew there were so many different types of salt containers.

After the electricity went out the other day I unplugged the kiln. Later I replugged it in and started the firing again. Everything in the kiln looks fine. I didn't unload yet, I'll do that today. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
