a fully ripe Meyer Lemon

from my indoor dwarf citrus tree in Juneau, Alaska.

November 24, 2011 on Thanksgiving Day evening:

We drove into our yard and were surprised to find this baby porcupine in the driveway at about 9:00 p.m.  


It got scared and ran to hide from us in the 6' tall hedge tree under the eave of the house in the front yard...poor thing!   We left it alone after my husband captured this photograph, and it ran off shortly thereafter...

What a treat, and a cutie ;)

"You can't see me..."

A Bald Eagle atop an evergreen tree 
in the neighborhood early this afternoon 
for quite some time...

it was content and tucked in its wings 
and stayed a few minutes longer, 
and then the Bald Eagle flew away...

The same dark-eyed junco (junko) basking in the sunshine...

A huge raven took great interest when my husband was eating his lunch in his pickup while taking a break from working on our commercial boat nearby...

 

Oh, yes - he had a buddy nearby as well. Max said, "I felt sorry for them - I wanted to give them some food but it's illegal, and too many people were watching anyway"...
