There's vines on that building? it just got a hell of a lot cooler, and it was pretty damn cool to begin with.

It's a trellis, to grow real vines on. Speaking of which, are they planted yet? Are they taking?

They were planted a couple years ago. Some of them took some have not as there was some kinks in the watering system at the beginning. They will be given another shot now that things are sorted, if they don't take then the backup plan of making the trellis attractive pays off.

Had a visitor today, hung out for almost 30minutes. Took a few photos but this was the best of the bunch.



Thought it was a hawk at first but now I'm thinking a falcon. Any bird people here know?

I would've guessed a juvenile peregrine falcon.
It was very curious and I was able to get within a couple of feet to take that shot, certainly wasn't scared of me.

I believe that is a falcon based on the photos I've just searched. The eyes are very different between the two.

My cat didn't want anything to do with it, it usally wants a piece of the pigeons though. Someone else has told me it looks like a red tailed hawk. Either way it was pretty cool to see a predator within the city.

Is there a reason why the W has stopped rotating? Been like that for weeks.

Also a friend has this going on behind that pretty red trellis
