Commentary:
This is the time of year when some unusual birds will make an appearance at the feeders, including my personal favorite, the Indigo bunting. Actually quite common in the eastern portion of the U.S., they can be hard to spot, since only the males are blue--and only in the spring and summer. This sweet little bird will hang around the feeders for a few days before disappearing back into the woods, so I grabbed the camera and snapped a few shots while I could. What amazing creature--such superfluous beauty! I do love this time of year.

As you know, Saturday the 18th was Record Store Day 2015. Every year, I feign disinterest but always get swept up in the (admittedly manufactured) excitement as the event draws near. But these days, I do it at my own pace. Grimey's is just too much of a crazy scene on the day of (but usually has plenty of stuff leftover the next afternoon) so I celebrated at a couple of other places. You can probably spot all the exclusive releases in my playlist but for more excruciating detail, check out my rambling show-and-tell video over on YouTube. I hope all your Record Store Day dreams came true!
