And how would complain I about a bit of flora, with a watch in the picture. Taken today in my wife’s perennial garden, my 32 year old Rolex Date-Just. Springtime in the Rockies, where we have only two seasons. Winter, and Calgary Stampede week in July.

The two babies took their first flight this morning. From my gun belt to my camera bag. I was planning a little photo trip this morning but can’t bring myself to toss them off.

Saw a male Hen Harrier (Circus cyaneus) today hunting low over farmland. Not in any way common but there is a small colony not far away in Wicken Fen. Not enough time to get a camera out 🙁

Spent the afternoon weeding the garden and almost "weeded" this little guy....he didn't even flinch. The garden is overrun with wild strawberries, which I imagine the little guy and his bothers and sisters would enjoy. I suppose I can wait a couple more weeks before I go back to weed some more.
