I don't like having my photo taken!

I was lucky enough to be with birding friends at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on 16 April 2013, when about 10 gorgeous Mountain Bluebirds were flying over the Bow River and landing on the rocks not too far from where we were standing. They repeated this a number of times. Thank goodness for zoom, lol! I never realized how grumpy these birds look when you see them head on! Normally, one has to drive out of the city to see these birds, so it's always a treat to see one within city limits.

No sign of the sun yet today. Yesterday was beautifully sunny, but, oh so windy! Now I'm regretting my drive SE of the city to Frank Lake yesterday afternoon. It tends to often be windy in that area and yesterday the wind was so strong that it was very difficult to even open my car door to get out, and it was impossible to take photos, though I did manage to take a row of metal silos. No birds to be seen on my drive around the lake, except for one Raven and maybe half a dozen tiny, black silhouettes on a slough. Today, I have no strength left in my painful hands and arms after having to grip the steering wheel for two or three hours, so will have to stay home. No choice anyway, as I still haven't finished my Taxes. Hope I can get an appointment before the deadline on Tuesday!

Just loaded the Chrome browser to see if it would work faster, but I got the Flickr Hiccups message. Yesterday was a little better, but today I'm back to having to wait much too long for every tiny action to work. And now, I've got Flickr Hiccups on my usual browser. Time to get off Flickr, I think.
