WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Matt]

I think NIN are coming to RR.  That’s a pipe dream though.  Saving that Gosport money.

@neph93:

Another day in my favourite English class…

Great story!

[IH-GARY]

@mclaincausey one thing I wonder every time I see a Red Rocks photo - how does the seating work? Is it just a case of stand where you want or does the ticket allocate you a row or zone?

A Billy, Tyler or Sturgill gig at RR will be forever bucket list material for me!

Taking a couple of feet off this (well just up to the arch, we'll keep it tall at the far end):

With these:

May take some time

Had this little guy visit this morning.

[Giles]

Lovely

[endo]

beautiful @goosehd you can count yourself lucky to have hummingbirds in the 'new world'. we don't have them here in Europe, and I think they are really amazing creatures.

[goosehd]

@endo I was unaware of that.  Their green feather's are an iridescent emerald green and truly beautiful and magnificent.  I also have a 20 second slow motion video of it, but can't post it.  You can see their wings doing circles to enable the hovering…

First one of the season (probably on their way back from the southern part of the U.S. and Mexico.

[goosehd]

video of their wing pattern from Youtube (not mine).  I love how their wings work…

Wonderful creatures. I saw my first one with 20 yrs or so when I was in California. But still the best was later in Ecuador at a place called 'Bellavista Cloud Forrest', one of the places on earth with the highest diversity of animals and plants, and also many hummingbird species. There, they were quite tame and even liked to sit on my hand.

We have a lot here in Albuquerque.  Right now there’s one building a nest on our pip up tent that we use as cover in the back yard.  We sit out there every night.  I’ll get a picture later.

[Giles]

Wonderful….

Luckily we have to go and stay with friends tonight, so I can stop this shit :-). About 50% done.....

[Matt]

@Giles Why are you doing this with pruning shears?

[goosehd]

@endo Extremely envious and outstanding picture!!!!  @Matt I would love to see the nest, if you get a chance.  I have never seen one in person (but have through the Internet).

[goosehd]

@Giles Looks good…are you for hire??

[Giles]

@Matt:

@Giles Why are you doing this with pruning shears?

Because that's all I've got.  And anyway, a hedge trimmer or chainsaw makes the hedge look like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre…......I did have to resort to a saw for the branches over 1/2 inch.....

@goosehd:

I'll do anything for the right compensation

Here’s the one in our front yard from last year…

[Matt]

I walked out just now and she hummed off.  Left these behind../

[Matt]

We saw them once or twice in Baltimore.  Saw one oriole in 40 years.  Never saw a Raven.  In ABQ I see humming birds and Ravens every day.
