Two Good Things That Happened Today

1. I cooked asparagus for the first time.

2. I saw a green woodpecker on the lawn.

Asparagus remains one of my utmost favorite vegetables. ^_^ So easy - just boil for a couple minutes, or, if you're wanting to go that bit extra, sauté in a little butter, adding whatever herbs/seasonings catch your fancy, like a dash of pepper, garlic, and lemon juice.

There are a few green woodpeckers hereabouts - very awkward to photograph, unfortunately, as they always make a straight course for cover once they take off, so unless you see them first, there isn't really time to get a photo, whatever the equipment. But perhaps, if they return there, you can be waiting for them! (Be warned: if you get nipped by the wildlife photography bug, it can be costly =:)

Yeah, I think I'll leave wildlife alone and stick to buildings. Buildings don't fly away. Also I've seen the competition and it intimidates me.
