There’s an old tree in the yet to be rented property behind our garden, mostly overgrown and partially dead.. I don’t know if and how it can be saved, but it is glorious in its current decay.

The birds have not yet made it back in any number, we were so long without any seed to offer, but that means property is abounding with marvelous dragons, who have such nice faces. Click for full size.

From “the”, wonderful photos of a humpback whale. Exciting! Click for full size.
1) What one sees most of the time: just a large, humped back after it surfaces, blows, inhales, and does a shallow dive.
2) Showing its flukes – normally (always?) seen just before a deep dive (when it will feed). This is one of the species’ signatures, almost no other large species shows the tail consistently before sounding.
3) …and, every once in a while, a tour will be very, very lucky, and see the whale perform a series of saltos like this; it did this about 7-8 times in a row, this was the only one I caught clearly (despite the evidently calm seas, it wasn’t entirely flat – the boat was doing irregular “pitches” of about 50 cm in amplitude). Just breathtaking.
