I’m back to Georgia,USA!

Hello, everybody!

I’m back home to Georgia, USA. After a well deserved month of R&R in Peru. (Now I need to rest from my vacation)

Despite what it is going on about the Coronavirus as pandemic internationally. I was a bit worried about governments keeping foreigners under quarantine and other methods to prevent contact with other people.

Fortunately, I did not get quarantine and actually had a wonderful time in Peru. I did visit many of my friends, also, visited many locations for photography, some that I hadn’t visited before.

For my blog, I’d like to try something new with the number of photos I have taken during my trip. These will be about Photography and Birds. I will be posting a set of two photos with footnotes about the birds or other commentary.

Saturdays will definitely be exclusive for Northern Cardinal’s Red Gallery, of course!

SET # 1

Double-crested Cormorants and Snowy Egrets

For some reason, I loved this scene. It was early in the morning and the sky was cloudy-gray.

Snowy Egrets

For a second I thought…Congress in session, but I was wrong! Good try though.

Oh so wonderful to have you back, HJ. I’m so glad you enjoyed a Peru vacation and look forward to the treasures you captured. Today’s egrets and cormorants are marvelous. Welcome home, my friend.

  Thank you very much, my friend. I really enjoyed my visit this time because I met people that I didn’t see in many years. I also traveled around, to be closer to where the bird migrants go and I was successful in my quest. I visited many important people in Peru and enjoyed their company and privileges too. Bottom line, I enjoyed my time, there. When I came back my Mac computer was not working properly and I lost my email account for my blog. I’ve been having problems with Google to recover it. My computer is not getting my email followers. I hope I’ll be back to normal posting soon. 🙂

  Hi D., Although I’m back, I’m having problems with my email system. I’ve been trying to make it work and so far it’s not working. Google helped me to recover only the part with WordPress, but my Mac is not getting any mail from my blog friends. I had a wonderful time in Peru. Please, follow my blog via READER in WP. 🙂

You may want to isolate yourself for 14 days to be safe. It will be delightful to see your birds.

Great that your holiday went smoothly and that you had such a good time despite the virus alerts. We may be unable to do our overseas holiday next month the way things are, which is disappointing.

  Hi, Chris. I missed you too, my friend. I had problems with my gmails and I’ve just had it back yesterday. What a mess! I’m sorry I lost a month of data. Is it everything OK? 🙂

    Lots going on HJ – Wade had cancer treatment, my Dad is in nursing care and with the Coronavirus we can’t travel and are worried about being exposed to it since we both are at risk with our existing medical conditions. We are hoping to head off to sea at the end of the week for self-isolation and sanity! Look after yourself.
