Free picture frame, anyone? Kind of a peculiar way to offer it up, and I'm afraid the rain hasn't done it any favors, but it's there if you want it. I also found a free chair (below) that I left behind.
I came across these treasures on an unexpected walk to work yesterday morning. I realized that I once again needed a computer cable adapter, this time to download the video from the garden cam to my new Mac. Remember how it only has two ports and my devices don't fit them? Also, Dave couldn't find his headphones and thought they were at work, and I had a couple of other things to drop off at the office. So I took a walk.
I got the adapter, dropped off the stuff and couldn't find Dave's headphones. And because I wasn't on a timetable I could make it a leisurely walk, stopping to take pictures now and then, even though it was raining lightly. I remember a photography teacher of mine telling me years ago to get out in all weather, because pictures on a rainy day could be just as interesting as those in sunshine and they offer all sorts of possibilities.
When I got back home, I went on Amazon and ordered my own cable adapter, which I should have done last week.
So that was the morning.
In the afternoon I spent time catching up on blogs and reading The New Yorker. Yes, I'm finally trying to work through my massive backlog of New Yorkers. I've been off the magazine entirely for several months but I intend to catch up. We'll see how that goes. Right now I'm reading an issue from August!
Here's what the garden cam yielded from the past week or so. At 0:24 we get a good look at a fox stretching, and at 0:43 we see one scratching and then hear the poor thing having a coughing fit. Wonder what brought that on? I suppose foxes get respiratory illnesses too, especially in this weather. At the one-minute mark we briefly see Pale Cat and then Tabby comes by at 1:29.
In the afternoon I did some springtime pruning. It seems a bit early but the roses are already putting out new growth so it was time. I pruned them back as well as the buddleia.
I haven't heard a thing from the tree man about clearing that ivy at the back. I think we've been ghosted. If I want it done I may have to do it myself. Which will be interesting, since we don't own a ladder.
We have crocuses, but as you can see, the squirrels are already gnawing the flower heads off!

I look forward to the day when an inquisitive fox eats your garden camera as the resulting scenes inside the fox should be interesting from an anatomical point of view.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your photography teacher. There is something in all kinds of weather.
ReplyDeleteThe blue chair is quite nice, but I would hesitate to pick up any upholstered furniture from an unknown source. (I know you didn‘t take it.)
Thanks again for the camera footage! The fox with the stripped tail tip has not been around, it seems.
