What Day Is it

I have been blathering at length lately, so I think I will keep this post to mostly pictures. And with 3 days of rain coming up plus settling deep into the sameness of isolation, that may continue.

Talk about the sameness of isolation, I had to think hard this morning, which is about a half hour ago, what day it is. There is no longer any routine to mark the days: no family dinners, no coffee dates, and no exercise classes.

But I figured out that it is Sunday. Just to make double sure, I have just checked with the computer calendar. Yeah, Sunday.

Our walk to the pond yesterday yielded the same pair of hooded merganser ducks. Of course, they always seem to take the farthest location from the camera. The usual mallards were absent, and there were only a few pairs of geese.




Sue has been trying to get a phone pic of robins, but they have been decidedly uncooperative. Yesterday, I managed to get one with my camera. He or she seems to have a certain attitude.


Our selfies: one at home and one at the park.



Be well and be safe wherever you are.

  2. That robin seems to have a lot more red breast than our robins over here. And vibrant too. Good on you for shooting it head on!

  3. Pouring with rain here too this morning. Perhaps I'll find time to actually do something creative today. It's been hard to settle down to anything.

  4. Yes, our routine lives are all topsy turvy. I loved your squirrelly selfies...as well as ordinary smiles.

  6. I am really impressed with the shots of the Canada Geese and the Hooded Mergansers together. Two iconic Canadian species. Well done.

  10. Rain and more rain here too, so this is definitely an inside day *aren't most of them now) with no chance of getting out for a walk as it's a chilly rain too. That said we did manage to go for a long walk in a large park yesterday. There's wasn't much color in terms of anything budding or blooming, but there were lots of other folks out and about from walkers to cyclists to kids being pushed in strollers. Cute selfies today and other days as well, just forgot to comment on them before.

  15. That head on shot of the robin is unusual in the extreme, I think. It does have an attitude.
