We did not see the Peter, the owlet that flew the coop, tonight. He might have flown over to the bosque. Paul, the larger of these two, looks like he’s ready to fly. But poor little Mary still has some growing to do.

Off Center & Not Even 
Is one owlet lost?
It’s not lost. It has flown into the bosque. The other two will follow soon. Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure. I am glad they are ok 👍
They are doing what they do naturally.
I am learning 😊
Very observant 😀…
Thanks, Eunice.
🙏🙏
The photo of the moon is splendid 😱 and the irises (I can’t help but immediately think of biology) really do seem to be glowing~
Thanks, PBS. Think of it as a nice biological, botanical distraction from chemistry.
THIS IS FUNNY BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED DOING A PRACTICE CHEMISTRY PAPER 😂😭
Just in time biology.
Peter, Paul and Mary are great names for the owlets. I hope Peter will come back to see his siblings off. How long does it take before they are hunting on their own?
The irises are especially beautiful. I remember you saying once that you were not that fond of them, but they are gorgeous.
Back to rain up here tonight, and I am pleased to see the moon over New Mexico again. She is almost full.
Marina named the owlets. They will get back together when they all fly to the bosque. The moon will be at 99.6% on the 16th. It doesn’t pass the meridian on the 15th, and it will be eclipsed on the 15th. As I mentioned, it was 30 degrees this morning. It got up to 84 this afternoon. It’s down to 56 now, so it might freeze again by morning. Thanks, Lavinia.
30 to 84 is quite a swing!
It is.
52 and raining here this morning.
Gorgeous pics Timothy. I love Irises and Orchids. My fave Aunt is named Iris. Not having a green thumb I’m concerned about this beautiful Purple orchid I got for Mother’s Day. I’m following the instructions but several petals are already looking limp. Any suggestions? Thank you for these amazing photos. Always a delight to see the owlets.
Thanks, Holly. I don’t know a lot about orchids. Depending the type, yours might be at the end of it’s blooming cycle. Following the instructions should keep it going as long as it feels like going.
I’ll do my best not to kill it. Thank you Timothy!
Brilliant pictures.
Thanks, Roberta.
Flowers are gorgeous, Tim. Always love the owlet updates. Looking strong and healthy.
Thanks, Jeff.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Beautiful and colorful irisses Timothy.
The youngsters are leaving the nest… ready for the big adventure of life.
Owlets big adventure. Thanks, Rudi.
The wowlets are so cute and look at the size of them already. The irises are gorgeous.
Thanks, Shey.
Tripping indeed! Wow!
As for Mary, you know, girls take their time. She’s getting ready for the Grand Jeté! 😉

Hope you’re ready for the lunar eclipse Sunday night.. At least, it’ll occur at a friendlier time than at some insane middle of the night time. Happy viewing.
It starts at eight, and i won’t be late. I’m ready. Thanks, David.

I saw Peter this morning. Thanks, Cindy.
Mary is lagging a bit, glad to see the others are just about ready to break out on their own.
She was the last to hatch. She’ll catch up soon enough. Thanks, Brian.
Wow. Those irises are stunning!
LOVE the names you gave the owlets! Too funny.
Beauty of a moon shot, too.
Thanks, Dale,
BTW Marina named the owlets.
I shoulda known… 😉
She named the two older ones Peter and Paul and I told her the little one had to be Mary. They are like puffy magic dragons.
Of course!!
Praying for little Mary and Wow, those iris photos.. brilliant. 😁
That iris photo is amazing! Also love the wowlet names – Peter Paul and Mary. Too cute
Prefect names for the trio of little puffy magic dragons. Thanks, JYP.
Gorgeous irises!!!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Egads, the Iris are beautiful and elegant. They make me think of gowns.
The opening shot is prize worthy.
Oh, speaking of gowns, I made a trip to the only fabric place in Toronto that has black poly voile. (Char’s gown) It took all of my day, but it was worth it to see this fabric place. It’s a warehouse/wholesaler that was not open to the public prior to the pandemic. Not many people sew anymore, so there were not a lot of fabric shops to begin with. Over the pandemic, many just closed.
Anyway, this place has a lot of old discontinued fabric that are in my Art Gowns price range $2.00 – $4.00/yd.
I paid $9.00 yd. BUT it is 120 inches wide!!!!!! So, as most fabrics are 45 – 60 inches wide, it was in my Art Gowns range.
I’m thrilled. It’s perfect for Charlotte’s gown. Anyway, I’ll stop here. I’ll wear you out later in an email.
Sounds like you had a good fabric trip. I don’t know what fabric stores are open around here these days. Thanks, Resa.
Whoa!
Those are beautiful!
Thanks, Dawn.
Love those Iris pics! Makes me excited for mine to bloom
Thanks, M.B.
