Friday, 21 May 2021: our temperature is PLUS 1C (windchill MINUS 2C) at 3:00 pm. Sunrise is at 5:38 am, and sunset is at 9:27 pm. Overcast and cold! At least it's not snowing, which is a blessing, as workmen are here to take out all my windows and doors and put them back with new frames, as part of the huge repair to the building.
Six days ago, on 15 May 2021, I finally did a long drive that I had wanted to do the last few years, but never been brave enough to do it. Parts of the drive I had done before, but there was one destination in particular that was new. So glad I made myself do this, and it was a great day.
Much of the driving was on backroads that had a thick layer of loose, chunky gravel, making driving very unpleasant. It tends to push the wheels towards the side of the road, so one has to concentrate on trying to drive in a straight line. My arms and wrists ached like crazy from gripping the steering wheel.
It looked a good day to go for a long drive to take my mind off all the repair work that has to be done. The forecast looked good, though it made no mention of the haze which made scenic shots useless. It felt so good to see quite a few birds for a change. The highlight of my day was briefly seeing a Swainson's Hawk perched on a fence post. I took a couple of shots, which had to be through my windshield. The hawk put its head down and that is when I realized that it had a snake held in its talons. It took a couple of pecks at the snake while I was watching (and taking a few seconds of video), and then off it flew. I wonder if it had a nest with babies in it nearby.
Another highlight for me, was to come across a beautiful female Merlin, also perched on a fence post. It had been quite a while since I last saw a Merlin.
At the beginning of my drive, I would have liked to call in for breakfast at the Saskatoon Farm, but I knew it would be really busy on a Saturday. Likewise at the end of the day, I would have liked to call in at Frank Lake, but I always try and avoid busy places. Makes no sense when someone has the weekdays in which to visit places like city parks. Some people are still working, so I prefer to usually leave the parks for them at the weekends.
I did call in at one of my favourite sloughs on the way home and enjoyed watching quite a few White-faced Ibis feeding and preening. So peaceful in a place with no other cars or people.
Of course, no day would be complete without spotting an old barn or two. These included one of my absolute favourite barns, photographed and posted previously, too.
I usually paint whimsical, but recently I tried my hand at a more realistic daisy and I'm not mad at it!
cats, frames and loneliness.

I think I need to get out from me for a little while.

This was a bit challenge of doing several things at once. I had to use my glasses since I have the strongest prescription to get the most refraction. So this was done looking at a fuzzy viewfinder and trusting the autofocus. Then to aim the camera (straight and level), hold the glasses level, align everything to get the flower and frames and then press the button.

My new Dolce & Gabbana glasses frames (I haven't put my prescription in them yet… that's why there's a logo on the lens, lol). Found and got them at Lenscrafters this weekend. They were the exact right color purple (more of a blue-y lavender color, and slightly transparent, so they grab a tiny bit of hue from my hair), and I'd been wanting D&G frames recently… plus the shape was more flattering on my face than my other pairs. DH doesn't like them as much because they slant down and cover part of my eye, but I think they look great. :p nyeh
note: oh also, I have been growing my eyebrows out, I actually like them like this. Thanks anonymous formspring person who asked me to grow them out. XP
also note: Something was weird with flickr earlier, and somehow a couple people were able to comment on a photo that I had deleted (it was the same as this one)... like, I deleted it but people were still able to see and comment on it... it was weird. Anyway, if you commented to me here and your comment is gone, that's probably why!
