(+1 inset)

The memory card in my Sony camera had been sitting uncopied since Steve and I got back from our trip to Vancouver Island last September. When I got the pictures of the quail on the railing last week I was prompted to finally copy the card onto my computer. I hadn't taken a lot of pictures but the images I have taken are turning out to be pretty cool and I keep going back to process more of them.

This morning I looked at some pictures I took of a large group of vultures circling overhead amidst a stormy, cloud-filled sky. Above are ominous, black clouds; below is the edge of the tree-lined hillside on the far side of the valley. I get the feeling of doom and anxiety when I look at it, and the interesting thing is that it's almost like a foreteller of what was on its way for all of us. I'm also sharing a second picture that shows the birds in front of the clouds.

The good news is that these pictures don't reflect my current mood, which is looking up as the days pass. I am going to take some time away though so it may be another week or two before I post. Thank you so much for stopping by!
