Ongoing project: learning German by translating the ballads of Goethe and Schiller to English!
It was beyond wild and gorgeous to see dozens of white-faced ibises at the lake reservoir yesterday. My pictures all came out pretty patchy in focus (shaky hand day for me), but even so, and even given the practically lurid colors of the muggy detritus and sinking algae to compete with (left behind to as the reservoir drains and evaporates), I hope you can see what gorgeous birds these are (those oilskin-like ruddy necks and emerald wings!). It was such a thrill to find them.
