I looked up about 20 minutes ago and saw one male blowing around. They come through here on their way North. Only one so far or maybe the only one willing to risk the wind. Great pictures. It has been too windy and foggy/drizzly/floody for me to get any kind of picture at all so I will look at yours. You do such a great job!

I have seen some pretty awful photos from very good cameras because the user was not very good. You make some wonderful shots!

LOL,I need to go to the dentist. I put it off because of Covid but now that my 2 vaccines have been in long enough I really have no excuse. Oh wait, I have a concert the weekend after this one. Nope, cannot go now.

Playing through the masks is bad enough, having to finish a piece you busted yourself to learn and not have an audience, then having to stand and bow as if you did, for the video is bad enough! Doing that after a dentist appointment is the worst. I swear, honestly, cross my heart.
