Busy : I stayed busy visiting and doing little things in the shed today. Decided to put a little electric in the shed so I’ve been busy putting plugs in and running wire. Just kind of piddle at it.

I have really been enjoying having an old friend around for a few days to visit with. Catching up on all the ‘this and thats’. He is a photographer too, so we can talk shop on camera and things. He likes to do photos of skydivers and stayed at a skydiving place doing it for four years. He still goes back to visit every now and then, and that’s what he’s up to now. He also makes me green with envy, because he has the Canon RF 600mm F4 lens. Wow, what a beautiful lens.

Hope everyone is geared up for a great weekend.

Pictures : This Townsend’s Warbler was nice enough to grace my feeder area for a brief moment yesterday. What a beautiful bird.

Of course he/she had to drink the dirtiest water he/she could find.

I have always wanted to go down to the Gulf Coast and watch the migrating birds one spring or one fall or maybe both. Especially the Warblers. I doubt that I’ll ever get to, but I think that would be a joy.

Friend : I have a friend visiting today from Illinois, always great to see friends!

Folks have a fine day.

Doc’s Report : Okay, the left side artery now has less hamburgers and french fries stuck up in there, and next month, I guess we’re gonna go do the right side artery. And then, we’ll see, if there is more …! Hope that goes well. I feel just like old MacDonald’s farm, I stent here, a stent there, a stent everywhere! To be fair, I guess I shouldn’t have … had a hamburger here, a hamburger there, and a hamburger everywhere! LOL. “In the end we must all pay for our sins” is a saying I heard often as a kid, maybe now I’m beginning to understand! LOL, 🤔.

Tricky, Amazon Prime : No matter how hard I try or how careful I watch, they tricked me into signing up for that thing every dang time! They hide that little dot to the front of the sentence that says, “Get free shipping with Amazon prime” and of course, they make that the default choice. As a lot of other people, all I see is “Get free shipping” LOL. So afterwards, I go about firing up my reminder app to tell me to shut prime down before the 30 days ends and they charge me $15.00 for the next month. Tricky Amazon!
There’s been one or two times that if they hadn’t sent me an email, welcoming me to prime, I would’ve never have known that I signed up! Anybody else out there get tricked into the prime thing every time, or is it just me? LOL.

Okay, enough chattering for the day, all you folks have a nice day!

Phone Appointment : I have a phone appointment with the heart doc today, to talk about what is next.

I kind of like appointments with my doctors by phone if all we are going to do is talk anyway. Beats driving 120 miles round trip to chat face to face. If you are like me, you don’t know a lot about medical stuff anyway, so you just end up listening.

Did a few things this morning around town and other then that, I am just relaxing and waiting for my phone call.

Hope you are having a relaxing day. 🙂

Pictures : Just one of my earlier shot of a female Gambel’s Quail.

Flickr : I use two Flickr accounts one paid and one free, I notice that the free one is stripping my EXIF data. Anyone else experiencing the same thing with Flickr?

The week is on the go, hope yours is going well.

Pictures : A little bit back I got a new Flash (EL 5), my first update since the 580EX, which I bought about 17 year ago maybe? Needless to say, I don’t use a flash a lot, but I picked up a refurbished one which I figured it was a pretty good deal.
Sure is a lot more light coming out of this one than the old one! LOL. They have gotten pretty powerful.

Curve-billed Thrasher.

Have a fine Sunday.

Pictures : Another sunset on a peaceful evening. This one is not very striking, but it was peaceful, 😌.

Have a fun Saturday.

Pictures : Here is one of the Curve-billed Thrasher. Oh, went back to Photoshop for this one, 😔.

Have a good weekend, Folks.

Pictures : Here is another of the wild flowers I see around here.

Hope everyone’s day is going well.

Pictures : Here is another from along side the highway.

Folks, have your best day.
