We all know the world is going to hell in a handcart and we'll all be spending much more time at home than usual. I'm going to accentuate the positive with some ideas of things you can do to feel productive and happy. readmeri.wordpress.com/2020/03/18/things-to-do-when-thing...
We were all expecting a great inversion. God had turned the cooker on that causes the mist to boil up on the valley floor over Castleton. But he forgot to turn the gas down, once it was boiling and soon the mist just came up and up, over us and over the top of the hill. We were waiting for sunrise, for the sun to illuminate the top of the inversion but in the meantime I thought I would amuse myself with a shot of the other togs, which I always find more interesting than the view itself. Strange man, apparently.
PS THERE were many others dotted along the ridge. 0652 hrs on a Monday morning. I couldn't stay. some people have got jobs you know.
The Meadow pipit is the most common songbird in upland areas. Its high, piping call is a familiar sound. In flight it shows white outer tail feathers and in the breeding season it has a fluttering 'parachute' display flight. In winter, they are quite gregarious and gather in small flocks, often invisible among the vegetation, suddenly flying up with typical jerky flight.
Meadow pipit numbers in the UK have been declining since the mid-1970s, resulting in this species being included on the amber list of conservation concern.
I thought I had arrived here early enough to beat the crowds. I didn't see the people at the top of the dunes until I was processing the photo at home. This one is actually my favorite.

Happy Caturday !
Quinn was 8 years old when he came to be with us. He had some preexisting conditions including dental and chronic renal issues. Our veterinarian was concerned that he was losing weight and prescribed a transdermal appetite stimulant that I apply to his ear once daily. Seeing him "attack" his food truly brings out a happy smile :-)
Happy Caturday :-)
Charlie and Marcel have studied method acting at the The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute :-)

You will see a number of throwbacks from me over the next few weeks, this is one of them.
makes me smile
Charlie is curious about EVERYTHING. Leave a door or drawer open for just a moment and he will instantly come out of nowhere to check out what's inside :-)
Happy Caturday !
From 400 feet (121 meters), I sure look small.....you can tell its late afternoon by the long shadow. This small island is ~9 soccer/football fields away from shore.
Special thanks to my friend Hanson Aerial Photography for this perspective. flic.kr/ps/3LZKfL
