Cleaning up found some evidence of past lives. Missing a couple, would love to have one of my Roche Bros tags. Of these six, one of them is the worst job I ever had. The others were all great for different reasons and more importantly served a purpose.

Today was not going to be more birds, but when you walk outside in the morning and everyone is watching the Turkey Vultures use the neighborhood chimmneys to keep warm, you get your camera.

The visitors to the new feeder keep coming. Have had a few I have not been able to capture with the camera yet. This Junco hung out for a while, sat on the roof while the Titmouse, Chickadees, Finch, Nuthatch, Pine Siskins rotated through the lower deck of the feeder. Only a few days in and it has become a hot spot of action.

I threw together a new bird feeder this weekend, just half a hollowed out log. I mounted it three feet from my upstairs studio window. It is lined up perfectly so I can just open the window and photograph the birds without leaving my chair. So I will name them as they come by, this is Kylo, he was one of the visitors today.

My wife Barbara has been asking to be in my Gaslight Project for a while. The photo series of women, strength, and my gas mask during COVID. Where many of us have been collecting the COVID 19lbs (or maybe I am speaking for myself) she has been using the time to head in the other direction. Peloton, water aerobics, yoga, randomly jogging in place while watching TV – as she is right now as I type this – she has spent COVID working out. She has even inspired me to get on on the Peloton bandwagon, I have a long way to go to catch up to her drive though.
So this is her entry, she directed the session, this was her vision for the photo. Shared at her request, here is Exercise Barbie, part of my Gaslight Project. Fierce and strong.

A field trip to Bernat Antiques this afternoon. Picked up some Kodak and Fuji stuff. Here are a few quick shots I grabbed in the shop.

Meet 8 weeks old Goldendoodle, Olive. Just her second day home so she came in for a session this morning. She is the sweetest thing, soft, cuddle, and very curious. She even got to meet my Argus who thought she was a toy. Congratulations Lauren! I can’t wait to take more photos of this precious one.

A scene seen while driving, I even turned around to go get it.

The barn was surrounded by birds this morning. After this one had a photo by the door, the others stormed my window feeder.
