A couple of weeks ago, I got on this macro photography kick. I have been to the Nature Conservancy Weed Lot at least 5 times. Armed with my trusty cheapass macro lens. And, the place has been full on gold finches. SO, today – I strapped on my favorite longish lens and went to the Nature Conservancy. And there were NO NONE ZERO ZIP gold finches. American or otherwise. I rounded up a sparrow. So much for my nature photography.
This must be my weekend for cooking – made a nice pot roast this morning. We had pot roast, baked sweet potatoes and broccoli for lunch.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: We had cheese burgers last night – so tonight – we’ll be having grilled smoked gouda and peach sandwiches. On wheat.
Am I going to break down and get a “smart phone” this year??? Am I really going to spring for an iPhone 6??? Why not just get a Nexus 5??? They cost about 1/2 what an iPhone costs. Or am I going to continue with my antique very dumb cell phone + iPad with a cell data plan? There really isn’t anything wrong with that setup – as long as t-Mobile continues to offer my “legacy” plan.
My new place in Blue Ridge Summit,PA is small but quite full of little critters and flowering plants that I am trying to cut back some without killing.
I was sitting on the outside porch after a round of trimming and I was startled by a hummingbird dive bombing in to a dead stop two feet away from my face. Two microstops at different porch locations and the little gal was gone. Short of wearing Google glass I’d never be fast enough to get a picture.
It’s a little late in the season but maybe a hummingbird feeder?
