Sticks the landing every time.

New to Austin Agrodolce?  Something Blue, explained.

I was out with my camera recently, trying to capture Beauty Bush berries in shafts of morning sunlight.  I didn't even see this mockingbird ghosting around in the background until I was editing. I'm guessing this particular bird is an adolescent due to the not yet fully developed markings.  Just the sort of sketchy behavior I'd expect out of a teenager.

In case you didn't catch it previously?  Something Blue, explained.

And...... something purple, something red, something orange, something white...  Give a Central Texas yard five inches of unanticipated rain and everybody gets busy in their own way.

Something old, something new....

Ok.  So not literally blue.  At least not this go round.  "Something Blue" is rather the name for a new feature here on Austin Agrodolce.

I've consistently enjoyed several blogs that regularly feature photos with little to no verbiage attached.  I thought I'd give it a try here occasionally, sharing a photo without much if any exposition.
