“…But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be.
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.”
- Kermit (lyrics from It’s Not Easy Being Green)

There are now several ruby-throated hummingbirds hanging around our backyard, chasing and diving at each other in aerial combat. This one seemed to be the dominant one, it spent a lot of time perched on this branch of an avocado plant that is right below one of our feeders, guarding it vigilantly.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday, a freakishly thin-trunked Common Thread-Waisted Wasp (Ammophila procera) that was visiting the front garden last weekend.

Ruby-throated #hummingbird in our front #garden. After the spring migration wave passes I still see one or two that stay around through the summer. Haven’t been able to get any photos of it but yesterday I got lucky, walked out with camera in hand and it was right there at the #zinnias. The numbers will swell in a few weeks and they’ll hang around till the first strong cold front blows through in late Oct or so.

55 years ago today. And my #Apollo11 landing commemorative t-shirt arrived just in time for it. My father helped develop guidance systems for the Apollo lunar lander, it’s amazing that they succeeded with the technology of that time.
