posing scissortail

[gurdonark]

My young friend and I went to Oak Point Park in Plano. A herd of orienteers were competitively orienting in the woodlands. Baby turtles swam in a pond. I saw an eastern kingbird on a branch atop a tree. Near A Real Bookstore in Fairview, I saw a western kingbird. I saw a rabbit by the neighborhood swimming pool, as often happens. A scissortail flycatcher perched on a fence and I took its photograph many times. Mockingbirds asserted their territory.

They opened the community outdoor swimming pool today. I have not used it in years. Dozens of people were swimming in it when I passed it. The photo service flickr now uses an interface called Aviary for photo editing. I tried it out for the first time tonight. I have much to learn, but was able to edit some photos.

The days have turned hot. Last night a passing storm brought 50 mile per hour winds for a few moments. More often than usual, I think about my late mother. Two people sent me notes to compliment my music this week. A public transit company in Australia used one of my songs, but did not give me credit. I wrote them a polite note asking for attribution. I have not made a new song in weeks.

I visited one doctor on Tuesday, and will visit another on Monday.My first camera was a Kodak instamatic.
I still have some of the little square 124 pictures I took using it.The upstairs air conditioning is out.
I am reading a science fiction book on my e-reader.

I have noticed you have not been writing much these days. Are you busy or not feeling well?

Good to see you post here Bob.

You write, "I visited one doctor on Tuesday, and will visit another on Monday."

I hope you are alright.

Although I may not comment often, I too have wondered about your absence from LJ lately. I hope you're ok.

Have you seen the movie "The Big Year"? I thought of it when you mentioned seeing the kingbirds, both east and west :-).

I was wondering about you, too. Hope you are well!

How did you find out about the company using your work without attribution?

I used to have an instamatic, but it was broken by the MP's when they raided my barracks room back in the 70s.

A good bit of both. I hope someday soon I can write here more.

I am glad to get a chance to post. I am eager to see the next doctor.

I really liked that movie "The Big Year". I keep meaning to read the book.

I hope so, too, but I need a bit of medical care, I think.

Someone wrote me an e mail to compliment my music, and provided the link.

That's too bad!

Wishing you well brother!
