I am back at my mom’s house in the San Francisco Bay Area.

That means that we fill the bird feeder, and I sit in the yard with my camera with the zoom lens, and take pictures of the birds we lure in.

My mom loves birds, and I have come to love them too.

But my mom is 96, and her eyes aren’t what they used to be.

So I crop the photos down to just the birds, and show them to her on the laptop, and she tells me all about them.

Don’t worry, I have lots of Christmas pictures too.

And I am still not done with the New York adventure from last month.

And I am having more adventures as we speak. Well, not right this second, but…

But anyway.

Yeah, birds.
