There I was, staring at my laptop, when I looked up and saw something more interesting just outside the window. A northern flicker had come by to have a meal.
While I was on a bike ride Saturday, a bird caught my eye as it landed on a pole on the on-ramp to the Pacific Boulevard viaduct in Albany. But that was not the reason I stopped.

When you wake up to an inch of snow on the ground and walk out to get the paper, you have to admire the dedication of people who have dogs.
What’s my excuse for running a photo of a bird? I don’t have one. But on the eve of Thanksgiving, I figured I’d chance it.

When you’re stuck at home and can’t get out, it helps to to have the outside come to you. Well, it helps a little anyway.
