I am pleasantly surprised that our frülingsgold epiphyllum produced another flower this late in the season. It might be the climate here versus Southern California, but these usually are done by April out there. I like it! Click on the image to enlarge.

We had a nice, relaxing day today on the patio, enjoying the birds and critters on and around the seed bell I put up this morning. In this view, you can see female (left) and male (right) house finches aloft near the bell with a cactus wren on the bell itself. A curve billed thresher is just below and about to shoo the wren and start in on the bell. Click on the image to enlarge.
