So I got around to taking a photo or two of the enormous Hummingbird tree I mentioned before. It is crazy how many of these birds swarm this tree. I never got a good picture of the actual birds themselves as they are a bit too far away for the lens I have with me but the tree is still nice to look at.

Today while sitting on my tiny little porch a storm of boys on bicycles parked themselves beneath me and began arguing about the rules of hide and seek. The intensity of the argument seemed to be fueled by the fact that the boy on the orange bike, who was the apparent outcast of the group, insisted on tagging along. By group decision the boy on the orange bike was prounounced "it." Did you know that if you are "it", also known the one who is doing the seeking, you are not allowed to speak - ever, you must walk your bike while seeking - no riding allowed and to successfully "find" a person you must successfully throw them into the pool.
I'm not sure about these new rules but after about 20 minutes of arguing the terms were deemed acceptable and the pack rode off to hide leaving the boy on the orange bike in the shade of a tree to count to 300.
This is my house for the next five days. I've spent a week here already. It's not so bad. A little warm for my taste but as I said before it is within walking distance of everything I need for the first two weeks of my employment. The whole place is small enough that it fits in my 8-16mm lens quite easily. The door on the other side of the television leads to the bathroom/dressing room/closet area. The bed is in the dark cave on the left side of the picture, and the kitchen and front door are behind the bar.
This is the view from my patio with out hide-and-seekers. I can always tell when it has reached the hottest part of the day because the tennis players abandon the courts.
Happy Sunday! 6 days until a plane takes me to Ashland!
