- This normally would have been a thrown out shot - I was trying to photograph the robin perched on top of the bird house (now full of wrens' nest) on the back porch. Can you see her? (If not, see below.) She stood there for a couple of minutes, so I grabbed my camera. Alas - the flash caught the bookcase reflected by the flash in the back door, but then I liked the kind of double exposure effect.
- She stayed there long enough for a blurry, flash off, zoom shot. The robins have been attempting to build a nest on my upstairs neighbor's back porch, between the curve of the gutter pipe and the porch ceiling. They never give up in spite of their efforts at building a nest with pine straw in that curved space making it fall out every time. I guess she decided to take a bit of a break and ponder that decision.
- When I get off the elevator at Georgia Public Broadcasting there are signs pointing to
"Rick Steves event." I ask the guard at the desk while I am signing in what the event is.
Rick Steves is giving a lecture this evening. I tell him that I am just enough of a geek to think that is exciting. :) (He chuckles.) I love those travel shows. But alas (again) he is not there yet by the time I am ready to leave and I make my way into the night with no travel show celebrity sighting...
At least I get to sight plenty of birds, huh? I hope you get to see many wonderful good things this weekend, my friends.
