House/Hollywood Finches.

Our gardener has planted some interesting roses.

After a lot of data wrangling, I went out for a very little walk mid-afternoon. I had a macro lens on my Olympus Pen when I saw a really handsome house finch at one of our feeders. Well, shooting birds with a macro lens isn’t ideal. But, whatever happens, is what I planned.

Male house finch. Ms House Finches always selects the reddest male. This guy is looking pretty lucky.
Thinking the bottom one is a female house finch. And, from the timing, the top one has to be the male house finch.
The female and the male.

You know you are in trouble when this is the “Special” for dinner. For an entire week: That’s the special. Quinoa. 

I am settled in for a long campaign to return The Asylum food to “good”. I am not sure it can get it back to “excellent” without personnel changes that I don’t see happening. 

Tonight, I plan on having a BLT. With a side order of avocado. The Asylum does make good bacon. No complaints with the fries or onion rings either. Last night a couple came down to dinner. They brought I nice bottle of wine and ordered fries and onion rings for their supper.
