The shell was up in a day.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAHUKuWfR2ETTpsLFedL5qnxkh3I0Wdbqw4-dtNoYJ7WJqMGpbuxRdFnAXgZnSoOOhFe1KYgTUxZzO-MksCgQye78bCecN3WYy2UrIJ1bA8znRrgl2z8J2osMjSJdT41LT7F2WFCOg7-DE/s1600-h/IMG_0632.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAHUKuWfR2ETTpsLFedL5qnxkh3I0Wdbqw4-dtNoYJ7WJqMGpbuxRdFnAXgZnSoOOhFe1KYgTUxZzO-MksCgQye78bCecN3WYy2UrIJ1bA8znRrgl2z8J2osMjSJdT41LT7F2WFCOg7-DE/s400/IMG_0632.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231828258506764562" /></a><br /><br />Here's the other end of the rainbow:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixjMcNqi-TRHlx4zyC5oChr7gBUZ-L9K6I-smFGIyP_cANdDvluGuA7M4QSBuGM2Un2Lwc07Q9qCOndXNX4NnotqaA813Rsz4zvDi6r6Eq3OeRAFS1Nk2Ik8oElgLZbee9CvvtAdDVT1dA/s1600-h/IMG_0633.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixjMcNqi-TRHlx4zyC5oChr7gBUZ-L9K6I-smFGIyP_cANdDvluGuA7M4QSBuGM2Un2Lwc07Q9qCOndXNX4NnotqaA813Rsz4zvDi6r6Eq3OeRAFS1Nk2Ik8oElgLZbee9CvvtAdDVT1dA/s400/IMG_0633.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231828673883150754" /></a>Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827610173267051852.post-71081178317012593202008-08-07T11:11:00.006-06:002008-08-07T11:28:20.140-06:00Flicker-ManiaI was so excited the other day when I was able to snap a shot of an immature Northern Flicker.

Couldn't help but think that this county commissioner has an unfortunate name and an even more unfortunate campaign slogan. Sounds like a porno movie to me.

OK, it's a stretch but there just seems like there's something WRONG with this slogan.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_2xtKP9TMYaabFil8ezlUbso7MgTbN8T2ZaO4Zl7YuSHGnNAQ8YQyPCopQUpHYf3VY3RfnMwleXzAQTHe1IexZ-PH4FBwD2PW5iuNj4k5dn1oP1Cuviu2ES26vHXHWk8iaaNmlY7Rx4V/s1600-h/IMG_0623.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_2xtKP9TMYaabFil8ezlUbso7MgTbN8T2ZaO4Zl7YuSHGnNAQ8YQyPCopQUpHYf3VY3RfnMwleXzAQTHe1IexZ-PH4FBwD2PW5iuNj4k5dn1oP1Cuviu2ES26vHXHWk8iaaNmlY7Rx4V/s400/IMG_0623.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231822947171950322" /></a>Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827610173267051852.post-8785090379761007402008-08-04T21:06:00.005-06:002008-12-09T10:00:37.569-07:00A Table for FourUsing a tripod helped a lot in getting a better hummer picture:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibvDo12hyjFZw7xkffO9aDDfUK_ebWP50KdjfaSFSLf5Yn3dsjWQUqqkdzXdyImcRNX65KXK5_Os8yGr_6KSNV-AwrCqA9-oFtM_VOe0-o1b2rgnNeFVhLQOBETx18bpB9nEFS6S8ca9eB/s1600-h/24.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibvDo12hyjFZw7xkffO9aDDfUK_ebWP50KdjfaSFSLf5Yn3dsjWQUqqkdzXdyImcRNX65KXK5_Os8yGr_6KSNV-AwrCqA9-oFtM_VOe0-o1b2rgnNeFVhLQOBETx18bpB9nEFS6S8ca9eB/s400/24.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230867262648493026" /></a><br /><br />Afternoon sunshine helped even more:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRZlz_dZBYIMyTSfnC2R0ZrbyYYw054D07e_jlUy2eAmvNsP9dB5KeSHStJjeZXv3vl8FlmGAwPuEy06b0OCDPi0_o9-CLjiC_pIyivwVCUfhLDI362i5GSFq5D2_yCrfeG8d7fDpeNms8/s1600-h/24a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRZlz_dZBYIMyTSfnC2R0ZrbyYYw054D07e_jlUy2eAmvNsP9dB5KeSHStJjeZXv3vl8FlmGAwPuEy06b0OCDPi0_o9-CLjiC_pIyivwVCUfhLDI362i5GSFq5D2_yCrfeG8d7fDpeNms8/s400/24a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230867700589179106" /></a>Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827610173267051852.post-80704302000169991382008-08-03T21:02:00.002-06:002008-12-09T10:00:37.683-07:00Too Dark for HummersWe've been graced by hords (herds?) of hummingbirds this year and tonight was no exception. After the hummers had gone through a quart of nectar since noon, I refilled their feeders at about 8 p.m. and they decended upon us like locusts. Unfortunately it was a tad dark and my hand a tad unsteady so we have some graininess to the picture today. I'll try mid-day tomorrow.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtET77HnGL4FidLNjRnZDa-V1xKFgpnGmdUJABAVdSWFoDExO1xKvmT4tOt80ln1c4tXb4vKjC_AN5q7tzyQ6pq1n5T8PXluKg84a-mDnnaNhh3NqMhFZf5oL8ux39lOyyzn9h2o_d71_p/s1600-h/23.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtET77HnGL4FidLNjRnZDa-V1xKFgpnGmdUJABAVdSWFoDExO1xKvmT4tOt80ln1c4tXb4vKjC_AN5q7tzyQ6pq1n5T8PXluKg84a-mDnnaNhh3NqMhFZf5oL8ux39lOyyzn9h2o_d71_p/s400/23.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230496399798797474" /></a>Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827610173267051852.post-49609429678216601862008-08-02T21:51:00.002-06:002008-12-09T10:00:37.841-07:00Decker - Good DogWhen I fill the hummingbird feeders I have two very attentive helpers; Blackie and Decker. When I water the tomatoes, they are usually just as attentive. Today was so hot that Decker decided to relax on the shady front porch while I watered. Here he is in his sticky, dirty glory. (By helping with the hummingbirds I mean they stand under the feeder slurping up any sugar water I spill and then they roll in the dirt.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAY3bthmzJeGR659XEDn1bSD8agn8LiwUulFWEGRsSPUs2sfo8ByiMQ1w6DCROSSvbK8gBpoDz8ExLBlkkEXc_o5gPk95xAXVecmFM8_VzFUvbbryZIrX7yjfar45UvacZOUdPh05XAEeh/s1600-h/22.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAY3bthmzJeGR659XEDn1bSD8agn8LiwUulFWEGRsSPUs2sfo8ByiMQ1w6DCROSSvbK8gBpoDz8ExLBlkkEXc_o5gPk95xAXVecmFM8_VzFUvbbryZIrX7yjfar45UvacZOUdPh05XAEeh/s400/22.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230135413579548482" /></a>Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827610173267051852.post-10711587691739403792008-08-01T17:55:00.003-06:002008-12-09T10:00:38.374-07:00Immature Northern FlickerI was going to bore everyone with another smoke plume photo but the photo op and the fire petered out.<br /><br />Instead though, while outside I spied an immature Northern Flicker on our fence post (about 20 yards from our front porch).

This is about xx miles from the house on Ute Mountain Ute tribal land. Most of our personnel and apparatus were still busy from Tuesday's Vista fire so we had few resources to spare. I actually reported to the station to act as "Refueling Technician" (ran the gas pump) but at least I was there if anyone needed me. Turns out we really didn't "do" anything to help on this fire.

I stayed in the office until 4 p.m. and fielded calls and coordinated the folks from Farmington.<br /><br />Regular lens; view from the fire station.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4E63PQecsCbR6guT0zNrEq0-0Hoa1TUbQ2JFczaoc-CYHxITiYu0nUjdHAL82T5CpEmcRCTV4xGLRAiZlWl3hP6Pfn9vgy3FrYCZf0ifkQ5MTktExwNnYMcZvrDXCBoN1JQqazAae8-c/s1600-h/17a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4E63PQecsCbR6guT0zNrEq0-0Hoa1TUbQ2JFczaoc-CYHxITiYu0nUjdHAL82T5CpEmcRCTV4xGLRAiZlWl3hP6Pfn9vgy3FrYCZf0ifkQ5MTktExwNnYMcZvrDXCBoN1JQqazAae8-c/s400/17a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228578318869732738" /></a><br /><br />Telephoto; same vantage point.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmU9gxHLUoRgik0yJPhOqoA_9dJXb01IZ78wAaiICZCmYIuZSwW75e5rWvDcDqhu5wlkyNzQif9Ns_F6nJLl1vLUPs8LkJ6iyC-mfXE8l8yNfdKYxnVP_-3brQcyrmhY8t4_pgXpBn5-n/s1600-h/17b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmU9gxHLUoRgik0yJPhOqoA_9dJXb01IZ78wAaiICZCmYIuZSwW75e5rWvDcDqhu5wlkyNzQif9Ns_F6nJLl1vLUPs8LkJ6iyC-mfXE8l8yNfdKYxnVP_-3brQcyrmhY8t4_pgXpBn5-n/s400/17b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228578323441879746" /></a>Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827610173267051852.post-27113470387480242942008-07-28T18:26:00.005-06:002008-12-09T10:00:39.995-07:00The Promised GrasshopperWe've been inundated with grasshoppers of various sorts for the past six weeks or so.

This recipe used up four (count 'em) four zucchini (two green and two yellow). I found the recipe <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_197956,00.html">here</a>.
