Picture This!!

I watch the birds all the time out my home-office window - Very calming during a stressful day.

Thanks Cathy.

GM, me too. Is that one an Oriole?

It is a Grosbeak the other is a house finch. I did my photo shoot yesterday so will put one on here little by little.

Reflections....

Thank you Cathy. Thanks Peregrinlady. I have only seen Rose breasted Grossbeaks in my area and they are migrating in the sprint.

Nice reflections GM. Hope you have a fun time with your camera.

Thanks GM. I feed the birds so I am very well acquainted with the house finch but the grossbeak not so much. We just had severe storms and my cat and I spent sometime in my bathroom as our tornado sirens went off. She was one unhappy camper!!!!!!!!!

this hooded oriole had one of his babies hit our pool today. He walked around the

kreppy krawley hose but couldn't get out because he was so wet. My husband

got him to land with the strainer and he crawled into the iceplant. I think he dried off and too

off, at least I hope so. The father kept calling and calling to him but was scared off

when we went out to help.

Well made it to Grenada after multiple Covid tests and a direct flight from Toronto. Not the most attractive look for Traveling but it works.

Mumito, thanks for posting those photos. It's nice to put a face to a name (username) and to see where you're staying. What a lovely view! I hope you have a lovely time.

Great photo, Lisa!

Nancy, congratulations on your photo being picked, that's great!!

Thanks Cathy and Lisa.

Mumito, what a great photo! Having you in it and the sunset at the same time is lovely. I'm glad you're in beach bliss!!

Looks like bliss to me. Enjoy and share photos.

Nancy, how are you doing?

Nancy, it's good to hear your news. Well done for walking so much! I'm sorry the swimming pool closed down and I hope you can find some exercise that you enjoy to replace it. I hope your results on Monday are good. It must be hard waiting for them. Please let us know how they are, when you have a chance. Sending you hugs.

I have been finding things challenging. We are in Stage 4 lockdown, since the Coronavirus numbers in Melbourne are the worst in Australia. We aren't meant to go more than 5 kilometres from home and most shops are closed except for supermarkets, pharmacies and post offices. There are lots of rules to follow and face masks are compulsory, so it feels like a lot of pressure. It has been very cold and I'm looking forward to spring. I had better remember to prune my roses soon. I'm glad I have this forum to help me feel a bit less isolated.
