I've felt so alive ever since I recovered from my bout of food poisoning.  The world seems brighter, clearer...and I want to post constantly.  Bear with me.  I'm sure I'll get jaded soon.

Tonight is the full moon and I couldn't resist sharing a few of my first night photos.  I haven't quite figured out all the settings on the camera, but the photos turned out interesting nonetheless.

Earlier (in daylight), I watched a Song Sparrow muddle through its first song of the spring as it perched on a fencepost.  The bird seemed a bit confused, leaving out the distinctive first three notes and settling into the warbling part with vigor.  The cats even got into the spring weather, begging to be let out repeatedly.  No couch sitters on the farm today!
