The trees are filled with ravens,
the fence topped with mockingbirds,
the eaves nested by doves.
hummingbirds of assorted hues
fight over the sugar water,
an occasional hawk seeks dinner.
The lizards are plentiful this year,
seem to be changing, evolving,
growing larger in some cases,
maybe half a dozen different variations.
Seemingly unafraid, likely because
our adopted killer cat is no longer alive.
Some of the succulents and cacti
are showing new sides to us,
tall shoots, colorful flowers,
more pups than in past years,
all of it probably from the wet year,
the one with the fizzled tropical storm.
