Long Call
The weather forecast for today Friday calls for 76º F the highest. It’s sunny and bright but it’s only 56º F right now while I write this post at noon.
In the morning I routinely refill the bird feeders early right after my breakfast. I did it as always finished and then got in the house to get my camera ready to do some shooting when I got a phone call from my sister and we talked for a while, I admit that the call was a bit long, we said good bye and I went to get my gear. I could not believe that there were hardly any seeds left in the feeders! Between the Mourning Doves, Red-winged Blackbirds, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Northern Cardinals and the Field Sparrows, American Goldfinch, etc. They all had eaten like pigs while I was talking on the phone. What a shame!
What do you say to that?
Is there a tax exemption for feeding birds? Can I have them as defenders in my tax returns.? NO?…Chucks!
I think I’d be better off feeding let’s say…Chickens? Hmmmm.

Short Shoot
This morning (Wednesday) was warm and sunny, round 11:00 am I went shopping, while driving I felt hot in the car and turned turn on the AC, that’s how warm it was. After I did my shopping drove back home and decided to shoot some pictures just in case that might rain later. It didn’t take long for the sky to turn gray and dark, got some drizzle but still continued overcast, the air feels warm and humid now.
So it was good that I could shoot some photos, the lighting was very favorable for good shots. I’ve been working hard again organizing and backing up my photos. I have to keep doing it as a habit to protect my photo archives and avoid losing them.

Peppermint Twist
On Monday night there was a Tornado Alert from the local authorities for our County starting at midnight. It was raining but about 4:20 am I woke up by the sound of heavy rain a thunders, flashes from lightening were very frequent and the wind picked up speed that could be heard sounding like a pack of wolves howling to a full moon. The air was saturated with a pungent smell of burned firecrackers. There were times that I thought we might be blown out because the intensity of the wind and the awful sound. Fortunately there were no damages anywhere in our community. A couple of patio chairs a small table and my hose where out of place and knocked down, but that’s all luckily.
Seems like we got a good soaking downpour which was definitely welcomed because our plants needed the water. I remember mentioning this on previous posting.
This morning started very dark but the sun rays are beginning to break through the clouds. Who knows?
“… it might turn out to be a sunny day after all. I’ll take that vs. a tornado anytime”

I’m OK- How are You?
Enjoying a great weather, being 82º F right now while I writing this post. Today’s Sunday, post that I’ll save it as “draft” and publish on Wednesday. I do this to utilize my time more conveniently in order to do other work, take pictures, process them, organize my photos and my daily duties. I believe that it is good idea to prepare one’s notes and select the photographs that will upload along with the story you’re blogging. I do not like to wait for the last minute and write in a hurry uninspired and liable to many errors. Not that I’m a writer, which I’m not but for respect to my readers.
I have a tremendous respect for my followers and readers in general and I always expect this respect to be reciprocate.
This Sunday has been very uplifting because not only the weather was terrific, I shot many pictures and did many other things that I felt very satisfied. I want more days like this one!
