Sorry for the background sound.
Japanese news (podcasts) were on.

We also see battles among them sometimes.
One of them seems not to want to share his place with others.

And second flower is blooming too!


My basil plants are doing fine as well.


That's Japanese herb, "Ao-shiso".
I missed you so much since last summer...!!!


But the tomato plants aren't doing very well.

There are lot of flowers blooming, but no fruits at all. I guess the soil bed isn't deep enough for them. Sorry...!

But the chive besides them is doing very good. I just have to harvest it more often.

In the Antelope Island. There was a nest of swallows under the roof of a barn near the beach. Baby swallows are waiting for food...!



Here you go.



The mom and dad are working so hard to feed them...!

One of the most beautiful birds for me: Ibis.



What are you looking for?



Oh, I've never seen it that close. He (She?) has a white head!



Flew away when I tried to get closer...
But the flying figure is also beautiful!!

kanakita
I was taking pictures & movies through our uncleaned windows and screens, so the pictures are not clear enough...



I recoreded some movies too.



Oops!
Radio was on.

Re-tried.



Wow.
They can still fly!


Soon after the robin left, three magpies came.





They looked very curious. They must be siblings born in this spring (my husband said).

We've been having unusual visitors recen...

kanakita
The first one.
Where did you actually come from?


He is definitely NOT a wild rabbit. We have no idea whose bunny he is. But he seems to be surviving in our backyard and neighbors' as well.

Sometimes, he gets a treat from us.

Not sure yet? It' yours.

But now.
"That's mine!"

He is kind of a sweet visitor, which we appreciate to see occasionally. But we also got a surprising visitor a week ago.


Gopher Snake!

He was totally tangled in my tomato nets! Probably tried to get released, but it got even worse.


Well, I wasn't able to do anything. Kind of scared. So just waited my husband got home.

Finally, the rescue started!


Luckily, our neighbor lady was there, and she was so brave to help my husband. Wow!
So, I got a role to take pictures.


Oh, what a day!

kanakita But this year, a lot of different things have been surprising us since winter has gone.

Daffodils!


Tulips!


Pretty purple flowers!
(I don't know the name...)


And, dandelions!


I know, dandelions are hated and considered as weeds here in the US, but my husband I are kind of enjoying looking at them in our backyard. Our backyard is a bit hidden, so it should be ok, I guess. Well, at least for a while, I hope.

kanakita
Magpies!

I often see five of them squeaking each other. "They must be a family", my husband said.

Some of them dare to come to our simple water spot. Hooray!
