Me too, and I don't understand why. Feel connected to the era somehow. I read this book a few months ago. #Fascinating #Recommended #books
I read this several decades ago and still celebrate how great it is. Highly recommended.
Great book, but a mess to clean up. Hate when that happens. Anyway, here's a mid-August sunrise on Lake Huron, at my late Father-in-Law's house, 2014. Special guy, special place, special time. Use until you replace yours.

Those are stunning, Carol. Reminds me of the ones that grow wild on the beach here.
😁 It's all good. Here's my fav White Pelican flyover I saw sitting at traffic light a few years ago. Amazing to see.
Well here's a couple of recent mourning doves, a surprise close-up at my kitchen window. And one in a nearby field. Such zen creatures.
From a few weeks ago, just for the compelling joy and beauty of it. #SandhillCrane #SWFL #birding
Great setting. Here was mine this morning...mushroom, cheese, and onion omelet.
#FirstBirdOfMyDay: I went looking for coffee, then an address. I found a new building, but old trees by a lake. A Palm Warbler, newly arrived Fall migrant, forged on the ground then flew into branches and blended into tiny just yellowing leaves.
Beyond the beautiful imagery of this poem, and lovely and astonishing new (to me) word "threadsuns," I thought of this photo I took earlier in the week, on a morning birding excursion in a nearby park.
#MyFirstBirdOfTheDay might've been its first #tallhumancreaturethingoftheday. I glanced up from my coffee and book and there she was, just on the other side of the lanai, a Red-shouldered Hawk (juvenile, I suspect) in a Live Oak Tree some 20' away. After 20 seconds, she did a 270 and was gone.

Here's what AI (CoPilot) came up with for mine after a rather chatty and frank conversation. Duh. Zeros and ones. What can you do?
