Literally, but not figuratively. Hummingbirds gather cobwebs to help hold their nest together. Having their tiny cup-sized nest sown together with gossamer threads is exactly what you would expect from this precise and delicate little bird.

Another shot from Point Reyes on a rainy Friday evening. I came across a group of black-tailed deer and this doe was kind enough to pause dinner and pose.

A Douglas Iris out on Point Reyes, in what will likely be our last rain for this year. Anyways, California folk seem to prefer fair weather, so I had the place to myself last night.
Douglas Iris is one of just 3 native Iris here on the Northwest coast of US and Canada.

A view from within the still wintry Hofgarten. This is a view through the DianaTempel toward the War Memorial (Kriegerdenkmal). These 17th-century Italian Renaissance-style gardens are alongside the Residenz Palace. I had a chance to hang out with a friend for a few hours on the last morning in Munich, after 3 days of intense meetings.

Always love catching a bird in flight, especially when they're so beautiful.
