Picture This!!

Lisa, I'm glad!

Those birds are beauties. What kind are they?

I think they are acorn woodpeckers..

He has his eye on you!!!

Great photo, Nancy! I'm glad you got to visit the swans.

Gma Foley, I like your photos!

Thank you Cathy. I had a great birthday yesterday. I went to the Butterfly House and took some butterfly pics and had some good food and indulged. Not a good thing when watching the waistline!!! How are you doing?

Cathy, walking helps me as a stress reliever. Are you able to do that? I know you are in winter now so may not be as easy to do.

Cathy, I make my walking a priority not only for my physical health but for my mental health. When things crowd it out that make it hard to walk I can really feel the difference.

Cathy, I just finished walking laps in my house because it is hot and humid outside. I just discovered I could do this. It is not too exciting but it gets the job done. I can multitask and do laundry at the same time and feel like I am moving forward. Hope you are able to walk outside. Before you know it you will be in springtime. I wish we could say that!!!!

Our weather for it seems like most of August has been so oppressive that I haven't been out much with my camera. Even though I am not a birder I found out this lake I frequent often had a rare bird sighting for our area. I am not impulsive at all but I dropped all my too do list for the day and decided to head out with my camera to see if I could find this bird. I ran into several birders looking for it as well. I don't think it was there but I did get a picture of this yellow legs shorebird (thanks to a birder next to me telling what it was) for the first time. If he hadn't been there I would have thought maybe this was the rare bird that was sited this weekend.. Same type of bird I think.

Not a great picture and heavily cropped but it was fun getting outside with a little cooler weather.

Hope you all are doing well and keeping safe.

Nancy
