I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a dull day outside; everything along the back fence has returned to the wild so I’m sorting it out. Over cast skies mean I don’t bake… or fry. Though I’m still unacceptably wobbly from 2 weeks of the nastiest cold evah. Heck, I’m still sick! I read that the [...]

I cannot think clearly when sick, therefore I cannot blog. Couldn’t pick a good resolution, like ‘eat more beets’. Oh, hell no; it’s got to be ‘blog more’, which I promptly break like Spring ice. Fortunately the sofa portion is over and I’m back at the computer where I belong. My reader is overflowing, most [...]

The only halfway decent picture I’ve taken so far this year. During last night’s nocturnal viewings, I met Sarah Jessica Parker at a Home Show in Coconut Grove, drove drunk twice and Mike learned how to create a new wall. I also met a very friendly Boston Terrier named Fred. Really? SJP? And I’m not [...]

Nanner development continues at a brisk pace… Nobody’s Perfect Son of a bitch, I’m so sick of the constant picking apart of the candidates. This one has too much ‘baggage’, that one cares more for fiscal matters than social, the other one, well… he’s a damned train wreck. Don’t care what you think personally about [...]

Baiting birds and awaiting their inevitable visit, while cloaked in the shadows, is among the various things I do to amuse myself. They’re much smarter than I, the grackles, mockingbirds and mourning doves, and I’m grateful when they tolerate my presence. I love this mourning dove, her reflection, her downy breast. Click to embiggen. Just [...]

Not doing politics right now and that occupy bullshit is in the same ballpark. It’s all ugly and not good for the soul when one is shopping for Christmas. Here are our Fall colors. Well, as good as they get. As this happens constantly, it shouldn’t count but we take what we can find… Lovely [...]

I have a question; maybe you have an answer. Not that I’ve been following current events too closely, but why are the anarchists allowed to close private businesses and ports, set fire to each other, firebomb buildings and harass the police…among various other disgusting oddities….? Why are businesses like the Men’s Wearhouse siding with them? [...]

I believe these to be Starlings in Autumn attire, taken early this morning and very far away, thus the bad image. I was only compelled to photograph them because of their strange basket of sounds. Not a chirp or trill, but more like someone whistling low to themselves. Eerie. Ego – where I and my [...]

The three amigos in emerging feathers have been showing up on a regular basis, knocking on the door and pecking my toes for food. It’s cute now, but something tells me a grown duck pecking me won’t have the same appeal. Still no Huey or Mom. I should have known better; you don’t get attached [...]
