Sushi photos!

Nori is so pretty! I didn't know until I pulled the sheet out of the package and the light shone behind it. I had to take a picture.

My first attempt was kappamaki (cucumber). I think I didn't put enough rice in, or roll it hard enough, as the roll was a leetle squashy.

And, because I'm 'MERRIKUN, Spam Lite sushi. I have to admit, it was the tastiest of the bunch.

All three of my lovely efforts - kappamaki, krab maki, and Spam maki. At that point, I ran out of rice, or I would have used the tuna salad mixture I made for the purpose. I sadly do not have access to really fresh, sushi-grade salmon.

Finches!

There were a pair of small yellow and black finches on my sunflowers this evening; I presume they were eating the seeds! :D

I got a terrible photo, because I turned off the flash because it was through glass, but oh well!

You can see good photo of these birds here.

I did not take this picture. It has been the background on my phone for a little while, and it is so cute I had to share!

Platypups!

Look, I sent this photo to Cute Overload, and it made it in!

The simple pleasure of a sunbeam

Nature: Rain, Birds, and MEAT

Two things are being shown in this picture above.

Firstly, JUST as my grilling was coming off the grill (on the left), it started to pour. I'm glad it held off just for my cooking!

Secondly, Speed put in a nice shepherd's crook for me to hang my hummingbird feeder on yesterday. And today I saw a leetle hummingbird on it already! :D

This photo below demonstrates the deliciousness I grilled up this evening. Chicken, which was brushed with olive oil and salt-and-peppered, and steak kebabs which were marinated overnight in a really tasty red wine (and various other things) marinade.

Heaven.
