Cats are so good at hibernating! :-)
Wish I could join them for the rest of the chilly season, lol!
Hi everyone. I hope you've all been well and are having a terrific start to the year!
I wanted to pop in for a bit and let you all know why I haven't been around in so long. Dad's doing okay now, but back in November he was hospitalized yet again... with another pulminary episode. I'd already had him on a low potassium diet (he only has one kidney) but now he's become sensitive to sodium as well. The upshot to that is.....eveything must be cooked 100% from scratch. That's a whole lot of cooking, lol. I make the majority of his meals on Sundays to be heated up later, but there's still breakfast and lunch, along with cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping and doctor visits(without a car these tasks can take up an awful lot of time).
Well, lol, you probably get the idea. Added to my own disabilities, I'm so beat by evening I just haven't had the energy for much more than sitting in a chair with a book.
But, I'm not leaving Flickr. I really hope to have more energy in the future when I become used to the workload and am not flaring so much. Till then, I won't be around often... but will try to visit and make comments when I can :-)
Finnegan, Dewey and Tallulah are doing well, with tons of fluffy beds and other napping places, and lots and lots of cuddles and playtime :-)
Take care everyone, I'm thinking of you all even though I may remain 'invisible' for awhile!
She's only been in the car a few times but so far, every time, it's put her right out. The same was true for me as a baby. We're going to come back to this, I'm sure, the next really bad no-sleep night she throws at us.
In South Dakota, they don't mess around about winter time. During the summer, the corn grows six feet tall here, but in the winter it's barren and lifeless, and on this day most of the world fades away into the ice fog.
This is my first go at macro, absolutely loving it! BUT not overly happy with the sharpness and clarity! Is it the lens or just my lack of experience and steadiness? ( I used a tripod but my hands were a little shaky) but anyways I still enjoyed it and thought I'd share.
I discovered a number of hibernating ladybirds in late March of this year, in a bird hide. I was intrigued as to whether they would use this location again, and if so, when they would aggregate. Whilst I don't know for sure when of course, they have done so again. Marfield NR, North Yorks, October 26th 2018.
