A little family time

Came down to CMO with my brother and his significant other. He lives in Washington State and I hadn't seen him for 5 or 6 years. At our ages we never know if we'll ever see one another again, so I try to cram in all the quality time I can.

Still trying for a good Cardinal shot with my new Sony. Quite pleased with this one. The bird doesn't give me much time to focus, but hopefully I'm getting  better at it.

A woodpecker started a hole in the new agave stalk. Hope it continues, and soon.
