How to Wash Windows..

First, gather all your equipment..point & shoot, DSLR, binoculars..Since you're on the deck to wash upstairs windows, might as well take a shot of the vegetable garden from the deck..

Those are self-planted Asian Raspberries on fence, left..I had thought they were native 'til a year ago. They're for the birds. Rubus odoratus (native Thimble Berry)  will eventually replace them..

Wait, what is that in the woods...??

A young Baltimore Oriole in the rose bush..
waiting for a chance at the berries...

 And look at the butterflies in the flowers...Camera in hand,  down to the garden..

Northern Pearl Crescent, opened

And shut


Oh right, the windows..back up onto the deck, wax on, wax off..but look, young robins are searcing for berries!

They crouch, then fling themselves into the berries

A fledgling waiting on the fence



Makes it into the berries..

The window does get washed..one, one window..but this morning I don't even pretend..

 

Breakfast with a Bluejay
And a Robin
A Tiger Swallowtail drops by to say hi

And shut..the windows can wait!
