Eco-meanderthal
The things I observe and need to keep track of (the eco-meanderings of a neanderthal)… Likely, it will bore you all to tears and utter insanity. Sorry for that.

The trees say they’re ready (their leaves are dryer; they clatter instead of rustle), and the cyclamens are in full bloom.

I really like your pictures - can i use them for e-cards and such for free (it is just for personal use to my daughter, etc.)? I probably shouldn’t tell you this but an ex of mine now makes a living by selling photos to businesses for use on their websites. Started out part-time, and now he makes enough to do it fulltime while supporting his 3 kids. I am very curious about seattle and the west coast. I have only been as far as Kamloops — never made it to the coast. I also find Gen X blogs interesting even if they are by people who are very different than I, and yours is no exception. The hummingbirds in winter are especially poignant.

Thank you, and yes, you certainly may use them. I’ve been thinking that I could do some things with a few of my photos, but then I get a bit self-conscious about it all.
I have another couple hummingbird photos to post…I should get on that…
