There will be a separate post for the photos, but for now, a quick post of the videos I thought all the pelicans had left the area, but during a drive to Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge on October 25th, I happily saw that was not the case. This first video is a compilation of... Continue Reading →
Due to a slow response, this is another quick reminder that the voting for the SDS Challenge Wrath Stories is underway. If you are new to the SDS Challenge, a little background. Three writers will each write one story a month going down the list of deadly sins. The stories can be anywhere from 666... Continue Reading →
I'm still busy, but I took the time to output a few photos; a sample of Note 20 photos and D7500 captures. Let's begin with some flowers from the memorial we had for Pops . . . Nothing fantastic, but I was happy with these photos pretty much as they came right out of the... Continue Reading →
For them not interested in reading, you can see the photos in THIS<<link SmugMug Gallery. I have a feeling traffic will be heavy for this post . . . and that — having come here with different expectations — most will quickly leave. That's right . . . this post is about female birds. Wait,... Continue Reading →

I begin with a video I shot earlier today . . . Again, if you have a good connection, watch in HD. I continue with something that I had forgotten about. Earlier, I made a comment on Facebook about last year's NaNoWriMo and while I did not mention this specific thing, the conversation jogged my... Continue Reading →
Just a quick post regarding hummingbirds . . . that's why we begin with tree swallows. Here's proof that nesting be difficult on the pair . . . I'm pretty sure this is the female, and she's looking a bit run-down. Also, it looks like she had pizza for lunch and was not too particular... Continue Reading →
Them who remember my original "Birds be all messed up" post know of my frustration regarding the Bluebirds and Swallows not using their assigned boxes. Yes, that is a bluebird on the nest box I built specifically for the swallows. And where are the swallows? They are on the nest box that according to everything... Continue Reading →

Of course, by the afternoon we have hail, but meanwhile I get to enjoy birds flying around my yard. Or, I would if they would just follow the rules. But, nooo! This year they decided to...

There's still a bit to do, but the hard work is finished. This next shot is from Saturday after I finished putting up the new moulding in the laundry room. Sunday morning I had me one of my made-up breakfasts . . . a new one. We had gone to Safeway (for them foreign types, it's a... Continue Reading →
