Loving the tiled buildings here, this one is directly across from our room in Alfama.

Blue jay portrait, one of the blue jay gang that visits our backyard daily, competing with the squirrels & each other for the peanuts I put out.

Blue Dasher dragonfly on a Red Yucca flower spike in our front garden yesterday evening. Last year dragonfly sightings/photo ops at the house were very few and far between so I’m hoping this is a sign of better luck this year.

Throwback to 2019 when we were still living in a townhouse near downtown and Jasper’s only outdoor time was up on the roof patio. The light & noise & breezy air up there always freaked him out wide-eyed for the first few minutes.

Obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana) coming back strong after dying back from winter’s big freeze.

Jasper enjoying some fresh air. He’s not allowed to be an outdoor wandering (a condition I agreed to when I adopted him from a rescue group) but gets to join us in the backyard on occasion.

Our other clematis vine is doing well & blooming like crazy. Didn’t even notice the caterpillar till I was looking at the photos later. Everything in the does great here until about June when the blast furnace heat arrives.

I’m probably the last person on earth to learn this, or at least the last Texan to learn this: lady longhorns…have long horns. I just assumed big horns = bull. There’s two longhorn cows that live on land near my neighborhood, every time I drive by I say ‘I should take their photo’. Finally, on Sunday, I drove by & saw they were out. Went back to house, grabbed camera and swung back. Looking at the photos later I was udderly amazed to see…udders on them thar .

Throwback to early 2010, not long after I adopted Jasper from a local rescue group. He doesn’t look very amused by these Mr Potato Head glasses, but I’m sure he got his revenge on me later. His 15th birthday is coming up in September and he’s still going strong, though we’re both growing creakier and crankier as the years pass.

I’ve not seen any so far this spring but they’ve obviously been here. Spotted these two monarch yesterday on the one milkweed in my front , a survivor that has regrown after dying back to the soil following our big winter freeze. Hope these make it to adulthood, the ones I saw last year disappeared before pupating.

Jasper contemplates his agenda - wide open and full of possibilities - as far as in which chair or bed he will spend the day sleeping. Decisions decisions.
