| I will be speaking at the historic landmark, Mission San Juan Capistrano, the “Jewel of the Missions.” Founded in 1776 located 26801 Ortega Hwy, San Juan Capistrano, CA.
Come enjoy the day visiting the gardens and the historic edifices before and after my talk. The Mission is open from 8:30-5:00. This “jewel of the missions” is a haven for hummingbirds and celebrates the return of the Cliff Swallows. The gardening angel volunteers’ hard work and nurturing is rewarded with the beauty of the Mission’s gardens. For more information about my talk and the San Juan Capistrano Mission, visit their website, www.missionsjc.com. Wednesday, July 12th, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. |

| This is a very rare and unusual view of 4 eggs all in one hummingbird’s nest located in Southern California. It is rare to find three eggs in a nest when usually there are only two. The fourth egg arrived on April 1st, 2012.It is not known yet, if all four are fertile. New postings will follow as incubation progresses.Humminbirds are known to have, again not average, two separate nests each occupied with babies. Each nest with eggs hatching a week or so apart from each other. The female will feed all four babies. I have posted a slide show on YouTube,“Four Hummingbird Eggs in Nest” |  |

Rod Puppets
The two rod puppets were created in Diane Lewis’ puppet class for the Theatre Arts Department of Saddleback College. There was a historical theme behind the assignment. We were to choose two theatre actors from the stage of the 1850′s who portrayed different persons of another century. What these rod puppets represent are the actors Charles and Mrs. Kean who portrayed King Richard II and his Queen. What was interesting when I replicated the costume chosen by the actress, Mrs. Kean, was the style. During Mrs. Kean’s era, 1857, the dress of the her time was hoop skirts and not the middle ages style of the 14th century during the rein of King Richard II. In their stage production the Kean’s identified with the fashion of their contemporary period, 1857. More evident in Mrs. Kean’s costume.
