Another photo of a yellow Tulip bought from Safeway recently. I waited and waited to see what it looked like when open, but the three Tulips never did open. Maybe this kind doesn't?

The original colour of this flower is creamy white with medium pink. Not sure how it changed colour in my camera!

Hello little Nuthatch

This is only the second time I've ever had a White-breasted Nuthatch fly down to my hand. The other week when it happened, I didn't get any decent photos, but today I had better luck. I did post a photo of one of these birds on my daughter's hand some time ago. (Note on 1st July 2007: wow, this photo, uploaded on 10th December 2006, suddenly appeared in Explore today for the very first time! Neat.)
