It's raining!
REAL rain.
Not 'showers'.
RAIN.
I had to get out my umbrella kind of rain as I had to go out and feed Mr. P.'s horse and S.'s horses and two cats and of course Elvin. He goes into a decline when Mr. P. is gone. He mopes on his little couch and I have to tell him it's okay to eat his dog food. He's a funny little dog.
Anyway, the real reason for this post is I finally tested out one of the video settings on my iPhone.
Oh goodness me... I just realized I haven't given it a name yet! Wow. I'll have to think that over....
So I've been putting out some black oil sunflower seeds for the birds [though I was hoping to entice the squirrels who seem indifferent to them, more's the pity]. There is this one bird that has an interesting habit of flitting it's wings and tail every few seconds. This movement is SO fast that I couldn't really tell what it was actually doing. Today I decided to try and get a slow motion video of it to see what I could make out.
I COULD see what it was doing in the video when I finally got a good one, but the thing that amazed me the most was what happened when it flew up to the lilac branch. See if you can spot what I thought was so charming!
