July 29, 2026 This photo was taken 3 years ago.  Tonight is the full moon, but it has raining so hard and I am cold. I am in pain. Tired of hurting. Ok, so I'll give people a little update and I hope tomorrow will be more normal for photo taking, too. Yesterdays CTScan actually went smoothly, but I clearly had a very negative response to the contrast.  I spent most of the night last night wondering if I was dying, whether I was catching a flu, or whether it would all pass soon.  I threw up around 6 a.m. and had no pain until 5 this afternoon a few hours after I had finally let myself eat something.  I'm drained.  I hate being sick and I am so full of distrust for the medical world again.   I long for Dave Johnson.   So, as I said I hope I feel better tomorrow and can get stuff done and do my normal routine.  I'll let you know tomorrow night.

  July 28, 2024 July 28, 2026 No pictures today.   Lots of medical events including a ctscan with contrast at 345 this afternoon.  When I left the hospital my left side was completely cramped up.  After 3 hours it still is.  I hurt. Anyway I have nothing to show today on my blog.  Watch for something better tomorrow.

July 27, 2026 Not full yet, but pretty darn close. Wood duck families are beginning to show some color.  It was 86 this afternoon at the canal.  There were 5 heron I could see, but only 2 of them were out in the open.  Other than that it was all ducks  out.  Even the geese seemed to be lined up on logs on the edges. Momiji lifts her head up to be kissed.  EJ says she's dumb, but he's wrong.  She rules the roost. I drove up with corn and burger and made dinner with these guys.  Felt good.  My leg is very unstable.  But with help from my friends, I kind of cooked dinner tonight.    I couldn't climb the small steps up to the chicken pen so EJ brought one out to meet me.  Isn't she beautiful?   Then I took a circuitous ride home in order to try and catch the sunset and moon rise.  It's supposed to rain for that next couple of days, so I won't catch the full moon rising.  But this is close, and it was a very...

July 26, 2026 I do love Sundays because I give myself permission to do what I need to do for me.  I did not cause any real harm when I fell yesterday.  It's pretty amazing, but true.  However, I'm sore and I needed to not move around a lot. At the end of the afternoon Patrick came by and we went for a little ride.  I didn't try to get out of the car.  He did.  We hung out by the bridge for a bit and then we went up to the rookery.  Very pleasant and a deer said hello from a distance. Summer is half over in many respects.  I'd love it if the weather continued like this for the next 6 weeks, but I think starting  tomorrow we have rain for several days.  It will rain throughout the full moon.  If I could have or do whatever I wanted I would get in the car and drive to Ptown and stay for a couple of days to photograph the sunsets and the moonrises.  Unfortunately, there is nothing doable about that little dream.   Even in...

The best thing about this picture is the cake and that love that went in to making it. It is cardamon poppy seed and it was soooooo freaking good.     Donnie and Jen threw an afternoon party for Jean's birthday.  This is an old group who've been coming around tables to share food for a really long time.  We certainly laugh when we are together.  It's really fun. The adventure started for me with a fall off my steps coming out of my house.  I had my phone in my hand and the camera around my neck and I fell sideways off the last step.  As I was falling I grabbed for the banister and it broke off the wall into my hand sending me down into the garden onto an old mum plant and my famous driftwood sculpture.  I seemed to be fine and am extremely amazed that I figured out how to stand up again.   Absolutely no blood and I did get up onto 2 legs.   I must admit I'm a little worried about waking up in the morning, but I don't think...

July 23, 2026 I think I used to have a pair of pants made from this material. This week, albiet one of the lovliest weeks of the year, has become the week I documented a group of herons.  It's been beautiful.  Today the canal was in the 70s and sunny and quiet, calm, a peaceful green.  There were 4 visible herons today.  I think if I had stayed another hour more would have shown up.   In the rookery i spent too much time on the phone, but while I was doing so 3 vultures soared up high for almost the whole time.  They were just enjoying the flight.   And I enjoyed them. There were a lot of birds out today, all kinds of them.   I actually would like to go out and shoot the sunset tonight, it looks like its going to be beautiful, but I feel sleepy.  We have another beautiful day tomorrow and on Saturday so I want to get a new memory card.  This one has been full for over a month and I keep having to stop and delete.  It ...
