Clay-Colored Sparrow on Ravenna Grass
One afternoon we looked out the window to see a bunch of small birds feeding on the seeds of our Ravenna grass. This was the best photo of the bunch, I think.

The Black Chinned King
This little fellow believed he owned our hummingbird feeder much of our first summer in New Mexico. He would perch on the stalk of a yucca flower for hours, guarding the feeder which was about 20 feet from his throne.
Prickly Pear
Another photo taken in our yard in New Mexico, this prickly pear had flowered, and one of the local rabbits had nibbled on a flower (we guess). I thought it looked pretty.
Annabelle
I caught this hummingbird feeding at the butterfly bush in our front courtyard our first summer in New Mexico. We initially thought it was an Anna’s Hummingbird, so we named her (?) Annabelle.
Red Hot Poker
A Red Hot Poker in our yard caught my eye one evening. The sun was setting behind the trees behind it, so it was lit by the “golden hour” light reflecting off our house. This is one of the first of my photos that I framed myself.
