Migrated here from Post. Coffee, chocolate, taking pictures, walking/hiking, tennis, gardening, puttering about the house & spending time with my 2 pups, are for me but some of lifeโ€™s simple pleasures. Unless otherwise noted, pictures are my own.

Two scissor-tailed flycatchers against a blue sky. One on the left is lightly on a power line, with wings and tail spread, while one on the right is approaching the line with wings spread.

A male and female kingfisher stand on a telephone wire facing each other against a clear blue sky.  The both have wings extended and tails flaired as their beaks point at each other.  One has the beak open in conversation with the other.

#TwosDay These two belted kingfishers are discussing property rights at the Lagoon. Let's try to have a good day. #Birds #Photography #Nature

Iโ€™m glad youโ€™ll be giving your back a break rather than breaking your back ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

@shorebird.bsky.social said this is another off-year for Fall foliage in Vermont because of drought.

I hope the downpours that took place my last 2 days there are harbinger of more to come.

That so many of us are OK with this or simply just donโ€™t care is indicative of the deep rot within our society. I share your sense of helplessness & exhaustion. Which is why Iโ€™ve backed way off on my news consumption of late.

And with the leaves now falling from the trees, I guess that means the raking will soon commence ๐Ÿ‚

I hope your surgery was a success & that the next 48 hours wonโ€™t be all that bad. A comedy show in the OR is a good thing as laughter is the best medicine ๐Ÿคฃ And speaking of babbling incoherently, I do that even under the best of circumstances ๐Ÿคช

In all seriousness, though, mother nature is going to wreak havoc on us and has started already.
