Week 19
I am so far behind... I nearly despair of catching up. LOL!
Hopefully (again), I will catch up over the next couple of weeks.
...instead of losing someone, losing the innocence of thinking you were important to begin with hurts more...
Since I moved the terracotta cat , I've noticed both Kaiser and Pixie trying to make friends with the statuettes !

or click the wolves. Ever so gently.
When your love lets you go you only want love more
Even when love wasn't what you were looking for

~ don't speak ~
by No Doubt
You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real,
Well I don't want to know
[Chorus]
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
[Chorus]
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are,
You and me
I can see us dying, are we?
It speaks for itself as it dies and there's nothing you can do to help.
This is poison and it's all that's left of this tree.
It's the only green it will see.
You can't fix everything.
If you try it will only kill you with worry needlessly.
So give up and let it go,
I never did understand why you tried to hold on.
Give up and admit when enough is enough.
It makes no difference if you do it or not,
It is already done and I've said enough!
As you already know
My word is Final So Good Luck!
It's a shame it had to come to this,
You never did learn until I made it painfully clear!
Why do people have to take the rocky path?
The road is paved just don't look back!
I hate to be mean but you gave me no choice,
Over is Over no matter what you want!

I’ve been with Teamsters, and I’ve been with these guys. I’m more partial to the latter mainly because I was more comfortable with them from 2015-2018. Now, if I were a trucker and had an A-Class CDL, I could see myself being more supportive of The Teamsters. But I’m no longer with a union, but where I work at now, The Teamsters is lobbying to represent us, but I’ve had some negative experiences dealing with them in the past. I’m in no hurry for that, not getting political (that’s basically what it is-politics), but I’m just expressing my mistrust of unions. Most of them no longer have the backbone that they once had. The ATU and Teamsters are but a part of the few that do. Having said this, the ATU looked out for us during the time that I drove public transit, on one occasion, they even saved the jobs of many drivers-myself included-and for that I am grateful.
Like they say about the Marines, or playing for the Raiders (they’re in Vegas now), I say likewise about the Amalgamated Transit Union:
Once ATU, always ATU!
So, Boat-tailed Grackles have dark eyes, right? Well, not exactly. Understanding "grackle speak" means understanding a little about the 3 species of grackles. There are three kinds of grackles: Common, Great-tailed, and Boat-tailed. The Common Grackle is, well, the most common. It lives east of the Rockies, is smaller than the other two kinds, and loves open agricultural areas, lawns, and avoids marshy areas. It is one of the birds that forms massive noisy flocks during the winter.
The Great-tailed Grackle has yellow eyes and lives in the southwest US and Mexico. Its range has expanded into some of the southeastern US also, where it overlaps with Boat-tailed Grackles.
Boat-tailed grackles live almost exclusively within about 20 to 30 miles of salt water, along the southeastern US and east coast. They have variable eye color. In the north they are yellow, but in the south, where they may overlap with the yellow eyed Great-tailed, their eyes are dark.
So, are you confused? Good! At least I'm not alone. Leave it to say that this is a male Boat-tailed Grackle taking to the air. Of course, the females of these three species are much more easily identified. Leave it to the women to get things right, again! #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #iLoveBirds #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #America #USA #DrDADBooks #BoatTailedGrackles #Canon #FindYourPark #FYPyes #WildlifeConservation
The rocks have life, they talk to you as they pass between them and tell you a story that always wanted to be hidden.
While we were going through some photographs, I came upon some of the ones when Hershey was just 4 months old. Seems so long ago.

Moving forward , curving around the Ruth glacier and looking back , I get to peek again at Mount Denali. Loved the rock formation at this curve which is in this shape over thousands of years of continuous transformations #Canon #Photography #Nature #Alaska #MountDenali
