Err, i think that was a flea that just walked across my keyboard.

Pennyroyal! Activate your bug repellant properties!

There was a ruckus of birdsong outside my office window a little while ago. I can't remember the calls, so i cant use that to distinguish between Bewick's or the Marsh Wren -- my vague memory is that it was more song sparrow like than gutteral so the birds hopping about in the shrubs must have been Bewick's. (On sighting them, i thought, "Carolina Wrens! But no.")

The bird song got my attention just intime for me to watch a female Nuttal's Woodpecker make her way up the trunk of the eucalyptus.

This morning seems so glorious after days of morning marine layer and actual rain. Also, getting up at 8:30is and missing the view of the crescent waning harvest moon in the predawn sky is quite a pleasure, too. (Although that cresent moon was quite lovely yesterday, surrounded by dull purple gray clouds -- more city lit than dawn lit -- against the luminous gradient of steel blue sky. )

The scents of sun warmed trees and foliage after the rain delight me.
