zippers and birds

Today I learned that if you do a Google search for a 96" zipper, the fifth or sixth link on the list is titled "Zippers and Foreskins." It's about how doctors contend with a problem that typically affects little boys who may lack a certain degree of attention to detail. And may I remind you that I don't find these things on purpose.

Speaking of kids, the teenagers nesting in the vine have managed to raise two fine-looking little birds that have a tendency to practice flapping their wings in their parents' faces. If you click to enlarge the picture, you can see that the daddy bird (I'm pretty sure) is sitting awfully high on that nest, and there's a not-so-little bird along his right side.


I think I only sort of freaked them out when the flash went off.
