At the time of sunset birds return their home. Somehow this bird has been late.
Update - I had reason to look at this and remembered what a fun shot it was.
Yesterday, Rumblemumbles moved into her own apartment.
No more renting
No more sharing
No more moving
She is now in bed with the bank, but at least it is her own (and the banks).
With some help and transport from one of her generous workmates, and me, we spent Friday doing the relocation, and today was spent sorting, cleaning and figuring out where it is all going to fit, with RM rolling out the "tough love" on some items and waving goodbye to them.
We took some timeout this morning to record the occasion.
I am not sure if this shows horror or pleasure, but by the late afternoon, it was looking more homely, and she was feeling tired but content.
As for me, I felt wasted from the effort, and it is hard to stay awake, so, sorry if I have been a bit absent lately.
Start with H Challenge
[The Big Move is scheduled for tomorrow. As I explained over the last few days, no more uploads from me until the 25th or 26th of November at the earliest, assuming all goes well, which one should never assume...]
In the little downstairs room I have been using as an office for so many years in this house, and where I sit today like every morning in front of my desk, the bookshelves are now entirely empty, except for the two large JBL speakers (too heavy for me to dare move by myself), the Revox reel-to-reel tape deck and the small Teac components of my hi-fi installation. They have been unplugged and the cables are all coiled. They look like the folded wings of a dark bird, ready to die... or to fly.
On my desk, almost nothing remains: the PC I will shut down and unplug soon after I finish uploading these daily photos to Flickr, the Bose speakers attached to it, the banker’s lamp that will soon go dark and wait to be packed by the movers when they come tomorrow. All the rest I have already packed away.
There is great sadness at leaving one’s world behind, but as it must be done, then I know that I am also very fortunate because there is a whole new world that awaits me, full of joy and promises, and since for me “a world” implies first and foremost a home base, I am happy, in those moments of separations and departures, to share not pictures of melancholy, sorrow and old dust on empty shelves, but the first photos of the place I will call home from now on. Fate (I would not presume to say the Hand of God as I am quite sure I’m not important or worthy enough for Him to personally care!) has granted me a wonderful new chance at living a life of happiness and love and trust, and even though I am not convinced I deserve such a bliss, I fully intend to make the most of it, and to bring into it all I have to offer, however meager that may be.
The grounds cover more than four hectares of sweeping lawn which include an island and go all the way to the Seine River.
A Little history of Homer, Alaska and why it is so well known for photographing eagles. It is also quite well known as a halibut fishing destination and claims to be the halibut capital of the US.
Jean Keene, known as “the eagle lady” has lived in a campground on the Homer Spit since her relocation to Alaska in 1977. Jean began feeding a pair of eagles on the Spit shortly after her arrival. She worked for a seafood plant where she had permission to gather surplus and freezer burned fish for the eagles. After ten years, more than 200 eagles were coming by Jean's place for breakfast. Jean loaded fish into barrels and then into her pickup for the short drive home. Before she doled out fish to the eagles, she chopped them into smaller chunks making it easier for them to carry. Jean fed 200 to 300 eagles about 500 lbs. of fish daily from late December through mid April. This daily “gathering of eagles” became well known among the photography community. The opportunity to photograph eagles in a situation like this is quite rare.
Jean Keene, the "Eagle Lady" passed away January 13, 2009. She was 85.
________________________________________
An ordinance passed by Homer officials to ban eagle feeding on the Homer Spit was to go in effect, but an emergency ordinance has allowed eagle feeding to be extended for 60 days following Jean Keene's death. Since eagle feeding had already began for the winter, wildlife officials agreed it might be best to taper off the feedings.
When my cousin from south Texas called and wanted to know if I was up for a trip to Alaska for what is most likely the last opportunity to photograph eagles under these conditions, I could hardly say no. Turned out to be an incredible trip with more eagles than you can imagine. I just wish I was photographer enough to do them justice.
The lighting and "Ambiente" seemed perfect so I took advantage!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

These baggy linen pants are HOME for me.
I've had them for 4 years and they get better each time I reach for them. They are soft and perfectly worn in. No buttons or zippers, I can just slip them on and go. I always feel like "me" when I wear them. They are definitely home.
Home is also this chipped coffee mug I can't seem to throw out. It's been with me too long 😊
... will be back soon, take care guys ...

Eu amei as casas os recantos das casas
Visitei casas apalpei casas
Só as casas explicam que exista
uma palavra como intimidade

(rough translation)
I loved homes the corners of homes
I visited homes I touched homes
Only homes can explain that there is
a word such as intimacy
