Today is #ThrowbackThursday & #VolcanoThursday 😻 & I dream of a #hedgewatch with my humans to the #Studlagil #canyon in #Iceland. It was pawsome to see the #rocks with the beautiful #columnarjoints

The stories these rocks could tell... if only they could. For me it's very much like imagining fanciful figures in clouds.

The Old Power Plant near the edge of Niagara Falls in the Autumn. Standing here, this close to the edge of the great Niagara Falls at the point of no return. The depths of which the water falls......it's hard to imagine wanting to go over to see how it would go.....just crazy. The Fall colors on the river's edge were beautiful.

Sleeping birds.
These little sleeping birds are dunlins (Calidris alpina). Notice how all of the birds on the outer fringes on the group have their beak tucked under the wing facing away from center. I read about this behavior with another bird species. It's a defensive measure. Many bird species can keep part of their brain awake and keep on
"Shorebird hybrids are very rare, but careful observation by birders have turned up hybrids between Dunlin and at least two other arctic-nesting species: White-rumped Sandpiper and Purple Sandpiper." - allaboutbirds.org

Good morning. 🍂🌿🍃
1 November 2023
I just said good morning and look, it's almost noon. I haven't been myself for the past week plus. I may have mentioned that I had a cold, well it hasn't completely gone away yet, though it's abated quite a bit. Sometimes, like now, I wonder if the symptoms are more expectation that than real. Sleep is what's need and sleep is what I've been doing. I've missed my early morning sessions in the backyard with my cameras.
“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Cooper's Hawk
Another photo of a cooper's hawk.
"The oldest recorded Cooper's Hawk was a male and at least 20 years, 4 months old. He was banded in California in 1986, and found in Washington in 2006." - allaboutbirds.org
Good morning. 🍂🍂🍂
25 September 2023
Yesterday the sky was dark, and I was sure it would rain, but other than a few isolated drops, nada. Today, I hope will be different, my lawn could use some rain. I haven't been keeping up with watering this year. Interestingly, in Louisiana, you can find ground water about a foot below the surface.
My personality used to include a taste of OCD. When I say "used to" I mean relatively recent past, not my long-ago younger days. When something needed to get done, I would obsess until it happened. But now-a-days, in retirement, I'm as mellow as a pillow.
It's weird how our personalities change over the years. We're more like machines than we'd like to believe. A slight chemical imbalance changes the ballgame.
“Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” - David G. Allen

#ThrowbackThursday to an exciting morning in October 2021.
Something below spooked the herd, and these horses started running towards me, passing within a few yards. The feel and the sound is forever in my soul.

#ThrowbackThursday to a few years ago, pre-pandemic, when I was commuting 52 miles (84Km) roundtrip every day from our then home near downtown down to the Johnson Space Center (glad I don’t have to do that any more). I took this photo while heading home on a #summer evening when the otherwise mundane drive in Houston freeway traffic was transformed by this a dying #thunderstorm over the city, spectacularly lit up by the setting sun.
