There was a feeding frenzy at the bird feeders this morning including the usual candidates plus a brightly colored Am. goldfinch and a much redder house finch than my local birds. Looks like the migration is in swing here in middle Ga. 🐦

A map of the US showing active bird migration at 5:20 am. Bright bands can be seen in the Pacific NW; from Montana south to Arizona, NM, and Mexico; in Minn; and moving south from NY to Ga and north Fl.

Kaolin mining in Ga. Btw, your illustration is of the bismuth subsilicylate version, not the real stuff. Damn this practice of taking trusted brand names and changing the ingredients. And while I'm on the subject, nothing branded as Clorox should contain ammonia. Hopping off my soapbox now.

Kaolin mining in Georgia - a satellite view shows green fields interspersed with broad patches of white clay and turquoise water.

A bit of Georgia sky

Puffy white clouds limned in gray and backed by gorgeous blue sky over sparkling silver-green water. A few docks and houses are seen on the distant wooded shoreline.

I enjoyed 'The Young Will Remember' by Eve Chung and learned a bit as well. This is the story of a gutsy Asian-American female correspondent trapped behind the lines in the Korean War. #CurrentlyReading #Booksky📚

Book cover shows a young Asian-American woman in a navy blue jacket with a red scarf.

My husband sent this picture of the parking lot from Athens. My car would be under that waterfall if I were there.

From a previous year, to give you an idea of just how covered the tomatos were yesterday.

An oak branch, so heavily draped in mayflies that the leaves can barely be seen, hangs over the lake.

Homeward bound - Big Sky Country.

A highway cuts through gentle green hills. To the left, fluffy clouds frame a patch of blue sky. The right, a massive thunderstorm.

Hello, handsome! #Yellowstone #FundOurParks 🦬🌱

A handsome American Bison (buffalo) grazes in the foreground against the backdrop of the Lamar River Valley - a gently rolling landscape down to the river, then rising in a tree-lined bank, then snow- capped peaks under gray clouds.

A bit tattered from the wind now & starting to drop blossoms, but this should give you an idea

For all of us who need a little beauty today, lovely Canada #photography #mountains #hiking 🇨🇦💙

A winter scene of a light teal stream rushing through snow-covered black rocks, framed by tall conifers and a trail. In the distance, snowy peaks are topped by blue sky with light clouds.

On a warm winter day in Canada, a back-packed hiker strides a leaf-strewn trail beside a rocky pale blue-green stream . To the left, conifers line the far bank; to the right, tree trunks edge the trail. In the distance, the deep blue mountains reveal a white road zigzigging up to rugged, snow-capped peaks. Oh Canada!

Coach Abe asked us to bring 1000 friends to the game Sunday, and I confess, that task's a bit intimidating, but here goes Dawg fans: Come support our undefeated Lady Dawgs as they take on Ga Tech Sunday. These young women are serious competitors & the games are a blast! #UGA #WBB #GoDawgs !

Meanwhile, Atlanta this coming week...

An unseasonal heat wave hits Atlanta, with temps in the upper 70s F.

Are we confused? A bit, but for now we’ll just keep blooming where we’re planted. 🌼🤷‍♀️🍂

In the foreground, a blue-violet iris is in full bloom beside a short brick wall. A gray trunked bush sporting red autumn leaves stretches sunward behind the blossoms. At its base, a sign advising the reader to get their flu shot.

Hoping the storm will head out into the Atlantic and spare our lovely southeastern coastline. #photography #beaches
