COLD DARK ROOM

Cool. Thanks for the help. I love the camera I bought thanks to your guidance.?

Great. It has lots of specialized “modes” but fir the most part “automatic” seems to be fine.

My mother was raised in south Texas and they called the lingo there “Tex-Mex”... I missed that part, there is no Mex in my vocabulary ?

That's funny. Cause there's some "Tex-Mex" living in south Florida. Couldn't understand a word kinda. I always told them their language was crazy. It's like their tongue is a revolving door. Every syllable takes 3 syllables. It works them have to death to talk. For some reason we loved each other though...

I haven't taken a picture yet. It is on auto for now. I'm studying mostly. It's really easy to use. I really like it. I'll save the specialized modes for after I'm really comfortable...got through setup...whew...

I knew that, just couldn't pull it up. I have a friend who lives close to Brownsville and also has a turtle/tortoise conservancy. I visited him and it's great. I have also delivered and picked up there lots, McAllen is my favorite place. I am very familiar with Texass it is a state I really like...

Well you can come visit me anytime! You might need a break from 55 and raining ?
I also sing some very offtune phrases ?.

Good day all. Cool & overcast today with some showers working their way in. My kayaking partner and I checked out a new area today. We paddled on the massive 800 acre Triadelphia Reservoir that is fed by the Patuxent River. This reservoir is one of three water supplies for all of Washington & Maryland. The water was warm & clean & clear.

Spotted a Pileated Woodpecker, a few Black Watersnakes, Herons, geese, no eagles. Lots of coves to explore.

I think I like people a lot more when I can’t understand them and I can just assume that they’re thinking what I want them too....hmmmm, should I be concerned about that??? LOL

Winding down after a fun day with my girls We ate at Red lobster and since I had a chauffeur, I indulged in a giant Lobsterita...Did a little shopping (which is really not my thing) for them outfits to do photos tomorrow. I have to have an updated professional photo since this could be the last year with my oldest at home..

Good morning! We are over the hump and on the downhill slide... I’ve got to torture the kids with photography this morning and then get caught up on some work.... once that’s done, it’s garden time.... tortoise weigh-ins, maybe some pool time.... nothing too serious;-)

Happy Thursday all!

Yesterday, I kind of enjoyed the cool, overcast then rainy day (after kayaking). Today, started off cool, gray, then BAM! Sun popped out, temps rose 400 degrees & the humidity to match! Yuck. Soggy hot n humid. Our Sully came out during yesterday‘s thundershowers for a poodle around & graze. We bought some great dandelion & cactus. Gone! Sully loves those greens & cactus pads. @Ray--Opo i need to update you on the cactus pads. Growing like gang busters too. Lots of cute new little green pads.

More Summer perennials blooming now, a few the deer didnt graze down. Corn Flowers, Laitrius, Calla Lilly Batchelor Buttons, Chrysanthemums, & more. Ogh....our Yucca has three massive stalks blooming as well. Yeah.

Water garden fountain is humming along. Plants growing nicely.

Bought a few “heat loving” Lantana annuals. Cute little flowers that seem to appear overnight all Summer long. Highly recommend, just remember they are annuals if you are a Northerner with frost.

Glad the cactus pads are doing good.

That's cute. I've always liked the little darlings. Would Alvin like peanuts in shell like a squirrel does? Just a treat u know...?
