Sleepless in Redding
Got stuck in Redding, nothing to do… went to the Sundial Bridge at night. On the drive back I stopped to photograph some Pronghorn thingies. I wished I had my big cam. No compact camera I’ve ever had does well at that end of the optical range.
Musky

WTD
What the duck? Saw it in our lagoon yesterday. Just found out it’s a female Hooded Merganser. How does she keep all that hair gel from washing out?

In the backyard where drinks and appetizers were served, we met Maggie the Magpie, an injured bird nursed back to health at the farm. …
Sunday
Today we dropped off Judy at her Burd Boarding facility as we will be on vacation soon. We then drove to San Jose to have dinner with the Nakamatsu’s. I tortured Kathy’s kat with my camera.
