Back from a few days in San Diego, visiting family and birding. Among other places I want was San Diego Safari Park, where I found this weaver and its nest. This bird is native to Tanzania and Kenya in Africa, so is a captive bird. I usually just photograph birds in the wild, but this one was so accommodating around its nest, I couldn't resist. The opening of the next in the bottom, and it did go in and out this way while I watched. 3/24/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Yesterday I posted a pic of public art I discovered at the side of the street in Loma Linda, CA. This was the second art piece I saw as I drove along. After parking, I walked back to photograph the three pieces. They were all right at the side of the road, and the best vantage point would have been the middle of the very busy street (which I didn't attempt). So here is the Wise Old Owl, my title, as there was no information regarding the artist or the art. 3/17/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
I was driving on a street I hadn't been on for quite awhile and saw several pieces of art along the side of the road. I found a place to park and walked back. This is just a tiny corner of an interesting sculpture of a large plant and a bunch of leaf-cutter ants. The size and shape of the sculpture made it hard to photograph effectively, but I especially liked this bit with the ant's shadow showing on the ground.
