Wot’s going on here?
We left some stuff wrapped up in a *blue* tarp on the back paved area for a bit over a year. We have some medium sized back birds who live in our garden and spend most of their time digging up the mulch and making a general mess of the garden, spreading the mulch everywhere we would rather it wasn’t.
Anyway, these birds made a nest on the ground (centre of the photo) and then scoured the neighbourhood for *blue* things where upon they thieved the things and flew it back to put in front of the the nest … more or less in line with where the blue tarp had been.
Are these birds religious? Is this some sort of tribute to the (now removed) blue tarp? Who knows! They have been at it for a couple of years now. I have even found a blue lid from a spray can (like a can of WD40 or something), so they must be really trying hard to fly with cumbersome (and - for them - heavyish) objects.
BTW, the Blue Tongue lizard has now returned to the garage after what I assume was a winter nap. It scared the crap out of me the other day when it appeared at my feet (for the first time since it’s winter sojourn) when I was not expecting it. The lizard is notoriously camera unfriendly, but I will try and get a shot of it at some point.

Bad Religion are definitely among my favorite bands. I think I discovered them when I was 14 or 15,
and after listening to “We're Only Gonna Die” (the first song is always very important),
I remember I wore out the version of “80-85” that I managed to get hold of
(“How Could Hell Be Any Worse?” was impossible to find at the time,
and it was already difficult to find “80-85” in italian province).
Then, with the internet, it became easier to access everything, so I found these live and demos version,
which I love.
Thanks for everything, Bad Religion, the band with a mission.
