| 説明 | Squirrels are not the only pests in the bird lover's world. Chipmunks like this may be just as pesty, but they manage to be cute while they commit their bird-feeder burglaries. Even when what they'e doing what can be called funny, squirrels seem to be challenging everyone to an intelligence contest. Very irritating indeed!I am grateful for your visit. My own photography has been limited to what I can do out my kitchen window while I am working on sewing projects at the kitchen table. The pictures you post on Flickr give me a lot of pleasure, and I take your visits to look at whatever I have scrounged up as a real kindness. Knowing you are still out there doing your stuff during the world's Covid-19 troubles is encouraging. A friend's father died of the virus a couple of days ago, and a few people at my retirement community have tested positive, which seems impossible as careful and caring as everyone around here has been. (Some workers just stopped by with snacks, and then another came delivering the bird seed I ordered.) My state (North Carolina) has not even reached its peak yet--that's good, I think--but by itself my county (Mecklenburg) had had more than 2000 cases and 62 deaths as of two days ago. Mecklenburg is the most populous of North Carolina's 100 counties. I've been trying to make anti-Covid masks, but I am not very satisfied with the results. One wants to do something to help. If I can't do better in the bird-photography than I've been doing, I may resort to posting a picture of someone wearing one of my masks.I tried to persuade my best friend, a digital artist, to make T-shirts sporting a slogan along the lines of "The New Patriotism: Real Americans Wear Masks in Public." (The idea was to counter those idiots who say masks are unfashionable and only sissies wear them.) My friend could produce a terrific illustration for such a T-shirt. But right now my friend is in the kind of Covid funk that even creativity won't cure.Please take care of yourselves and your countrymen (and countrywomen). |
