Nature red in beak and wing

Birds in our neighborhood are violent. The hummingbirds harass the swallows, the swallows dive bomb the crows, and the crows go after the rest of us. Imagine the carnage.
Very pleasant climbing session in the afternoon with a long time climbing partner whom I don't see as much as I used to, owing to scheduling conflicts. She and I have done a fair amount of real climbing together, and hope to get at least one day trip in this summer. She's still cancer-free after more than a year, and may it continue.
