My son called me one day and said, “What are you up to Mom?” I told him I was getting ready to go to the grocery store.

He said, “How do you get ready?”

I told him I had to fix my hair, and put on makeup;
Then make sure my top is ironed, and my socks match;
Check to make sure there are no straggly eye-brows,
Make a quick check of the nails - and file any rough edges,
He interrupted me, saying, “MOM! You’re old! No one is going to notice what you look like!”

Little does he know - if I went to the grocery store without getting a little ‘gussied up’, I would run into someone whom I haven’t seen in ages.

The next thing she would do, would be to get on the phone:
“Guess who I ran into today? YORKIE! OMG, gurl - you should SEE how she’s let herself GO!” LOL!

Thanks. Those Goldfinches are molting and are about halfway to reacquiring their summer plumage. The following shots are of the same birds a couple of months ago:

I LOVE your bird pictures. Do you have a zoom that you use on your camera, Gorush?

I feed about 200 goldfinches every day - all they want to eat is thistle seed, and boy has the cost gone up on those! If this keeps up, I’ll have to go get a job! LOL!

Thanks. I use a Panasonic DMC-TZ5 and it has a 10X zoom. I spend alot of motionless time behind a tripod and occasionally get lucky.

I wish your camera was set up in my back yard right now. What is that beautiful blue bird? That is not something I see here.

My new camera only has a 3x zoom. I’m just getting adjusted to using it - and will post a couple pictures soon. Yours and Kitty Mittens’ are excellent quality!

Thanks again!

You do not know how true everything you said is really! I have had to run to just get bread, milk and a couple items and I will see at least two people I know. I always say to them “Gee, I was hoping I could run in and out of here without running into someone I know!” Of course, the ‘nice’ person will always say “you look just fine” when I know I look like the dickens!”

We’ve all been there, done that! Good to see ya, yorkie! I have to do my face before I go and straighten up hair....the nails can’t wait even though they need filing. And I just removed some polish Thursday that was chipped awful. I usually don’t let my nails go BUT....I did that time.

I do have a notation in my bird book that I saw one here 5-6-08. My notations are never wrong. Now my memory..... that’s a little faulty but it is not a bird I see all the time.

This guy (or pair) has been around during the past couple of summers. They seem to make rounds and land in the same place at each stop each time, probably dozens of circuits daily. They stop and sing their gorgeous song. They are quite wary and hard to get close to.
