I had a good day today.  I met with my GP this morning and developed a strong understanding about what was happening to my body which allows me to feel more secure and not as though I'll be dead in a month.  That allowed me to take my ride and design my new project.  I'm going to just post photos tonight.




My bird count was pretty fun today.  I saw swans, buffleheads, common mergansers, C. Geese, mallards, wood ducks.


I don't know if Nash will read this tonight, but this floating log, which was traveling at a good clip, reminded me of their carvings. 

I saw a porcupine and a beaver.


I saw the first heron at the rookery tonight. Red winged black bird, Northern Flicker, Kingfisher and robins.   I was so proud of myself spotting the heron.  And then further down the road there was this big bird which I'm not quite figuring out if its an adolescent or young eagle or a large hawk.





I sat up on the hill looking towards the west over the Berkshires and talked to David while I watched the sunset.  the light was spectacular.  Nice view, nice ending to a centering day.  Welcome back to   the weekend.    


The most important thing on my plate at the moment is taking care of the cardiology issues.  I am centering myself there for the next couple of weeks.




Hope all enjoy the photo tour tonight.  I certainly appreciated taking it.

March 20, 2026 Happy Happy Birthday, Clara Witty! Happy Spring.  Oh yes, we're ready for it. The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.
