With mother and sibling gone, it was time for this one to try its wings. Mother waited impatiently on a nearby branch. The inaugural launch was successful. Last in the hummingbird family series.Related content

Used to ,.in my youth..but no more .
The nickname was acquired while attending Art school 1976-1980
The photo of me on my main page,[link] captured by a college friend, is a tame example of some of the insanity I indulged as my once favorite pastime is no longer possible due to a medical condition unrelated to climbing.

no sweat..did you go to art school?

No, no art school in my past. I could wish... I went to Berkeley for my Ph.D. and I've been a prof for 40 years. Philosophy, with special interest in biomedical ethics.

Oh wow! I don't think that this family could see you, right?

No, I don't think they could see me, because I kept it dark in my office and there was good sunlight outside. So the window acted as a mirror. Mostly they saw themselves reflected back. I'm imagining that they thought they had neighborly hummingbirds, who acted almost exactly the same as the featured family.
