Behind the cut are nine small photos for each day working backwards from today. Clicking on the photos will take you to flicker where larger versions can be viewed.

This week's photos were generally grab on the run so they aren't particularly good photos.

June 24: photos show the addition of a few more feet of cleared border. In the after shot, from the hummingbird feeder to where I was standing (about 6 feet) looked like the before shot when this day started. The rest of the renewed bed just needed weeding and general maintenance today.

Friday, June 22: Is a hummingbird feeding outside the nature center where I worked the afternoon shift. Also around that afternoon was a raccoon, a chipmunk, red-winged blackbirds, nuthatches, cowbirds, cardinals, mourning doves, squirrels, chickadees, and according to one of the visitors a scarlet tanager which he came in to describe in hopes of finding out what it was. After hearing his description, I showed him a photo and he immediately agreed that it was what he had seen. I didn't do as well helping another man identify a plant based on his description.

Tuesday, June 19: When I went to leave the office at nearly 10 p.m., I realized I had not taken a photo that day. So I aimed my camera at a random portion of my books. At least I ended up with a couple of books with a story. The two books on the far end, Sacred Rage and Prophetic Religions and Politics are autographed by the author Robin Wright. She taught a Oklahoma Scholastic Leadership Scholarship in which I was one of the 10 or 12 participants selected from college seniors and graduate students across the state of Oklahoma. It was an amazing group of people including the first person I ever met who grew up in a non-monogamous family -- he was the son of a village chieftain from Africa. Robin Wright had great stories to tell about her travels as a news correspondent. The two of them helped open my eyes to the possibilities beyond the life I knew.
