Year: 2007

I am seting here with a blank mind. Well not totally blank or I would have stopped breathing and would not be able to type. Void of ideas for a post. Void void void . … Never sleep into past noon and expect a thought provoking day. Annie was relentless in her persuit of a frisbee partner. Catfish just wanted to cuddle up and watch television. Osoa stayed in her little doggie kingdom ( her crate) age has it’s rank. I spent my day watching television while throwing a frisbee across the living room.

I updated the firmware on my Nikon and made hamburgers for dinner. Such an exciting day eh? Usually my mail box is full of political messsages from Femfacal and camera info from Fishonxx – nothing today. I guess they had an exciting day also.

I actually got out of bed early this morning – early for me anyway. I found my way downtown and to McKinley Park. Lots of ducks and kids throwing bread. I took my camera and my friend Chucks 80-400mm lens. After walkin around a bit I came to the conclusion that trying to take pictures of the birds when the kids were feeding them was a bust. Either the birds took off for the bread once I got focused on them or the birds chased some poor scared kid and I felt it my duty to save them LOL!

I decided that sitting down in the middle of the group of birds and waiting would be fun. Eventually a couple of birds came and took a look at me and a few even took naps near me. One bird in particular really liked me. Well, at least it followed me around for a bit ( a think it wanted bread :0 ). I named this bird Wrinkle cause his/her beak was kind of wrinkly. Wrinkle and I walked about and took some pictures of ducks. We watched a squirrel and had a cup of coffee with bread.

Now I will introduce you to Wrinkle:

I suppose I should re-learn my birds. I do have the Egret v Crane down ( I think) and the Coot. Somehow it is just kind of fun enjoying their beauty without having to identify them.

I am not sure what is going on. First my WYSISG did not work. I got that worked out by turning on and off all my plugins again. Now my tags have disappeared. I have not a clue as to why they are no longer showing up. Of to read UTW info and see if that is where the prob is ….

WordPress updates have been good to me – up until now. I will tag this post and see LOL

Update: their back – I turned on plugin that I am not using anymore landingsites and they came back – I guess my tags are like a bundle of wire that is all tangled up LOL. Bubblegum, duct tape, and wire Yup that is holding it together.

Today for some reason I feel like a dust bunny. You know the fuzz that builds up in less travelled areas. The dust your mom checks for. The little blobs that have to be cleaned up before company comes over – if you care about such stuff.

Lots of  stuff in my life has turned into dust bunny collectors.  My guitar, dulcimers, and banjo are collecting dust. My fly tying equiptment – the feathers, the fur, all of it – dusty. The dust that builds up when something has not been touched for awhile and may never be again. Even my mountain bike is covered with the dust. All dusty.

My life is less travelled by others now. People tend to want you to be who you were before. New visitors into my life make judgements that are not always accurate just as someone might judge your house by its number of dust bunnies.
