Lovely summer flowers and birds

I've not posted here for some time. Two trips to the ER in a month is just two too many. I haven't been feeling well and just getting my job done and resting up is about all I'm doing. Oh, and a little twittering.

I have been enjoying my balcony. there are several birds who come and visit every day. One is a little humming bird. Polly got me a lovely blown glass humming bird feeder. I hope I can get a picture of him, one of these days.

The other is a Gold Finch. He is so beautiful. Can you find him?

 And one more photo just because the colors are so beautiful.

 

On the first full day of Summer it is 59˚F!  

I love Oregon.

Power to the People

The Conservative Party under David Cameron which has pledged ‘a massive, sweeping, radical redistribution of power’. This, he said, had to be ‘from the state to citizens; from the government to parliament; from Whitehall to communities.
This is, to me, a better "redistribution" than the one of wealth that Obama has advocated. 
I'd like to see the conservatives in this country work for this returning the power back into the hands of the people. Hands which are bound to be less tainted by scandel and greed than those entrenched for, in some cases, decades.

Lazer technology allows voices of the past to be heard

Newly discovered recordings are older than the French recording from 1860 about which I reported last March.
