The sweet song of a Kurrichane Thrush has often had me grab the camera and rush outside.I have never seen their orange as vivid as this - perhaps it is his breeding outfit?
 If only I could have taken this from a different angle to avoid the harsh sunlight.

 Dandelion Stamens. The photo below shows how loaded with pollen they are.

This is another little squatter plant that is living happily where there used to be lawn grass!
