Seattle but eastside so it doesn’t count. Love my cats, photography, vegan food, yelling at the tv. Pessimist but hope I am wrong.

Vegan holiday dinner: Lentil shepherds pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Tofurky gravy and cranberry orange sauce.

Serious carb coma but so good. I cooked for myself so I have so much leftovers. Future dinner!

After many pictures taken I’ve narrowed then down to these 4 that are Bluesky share worthy.

I had planned on getting my balcony lights up and do some pre Thanksgiving day cooking. Instead I grabbed my camera and took a lot of photos of ducks. The Red-tailed hawk made an appearance too.

Editing in progress.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge, any bird at the edge of a body of water.

This is a heron that I knew several years ago. He hung out on this river along with a bald eagle pair.

The result of my Dr appointment today is….more blood tests. She’s being very cagey with her thoughts, which makes sense, but it’s annoying. I figured if she was really worried we’d be moving a lot faster on tests.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDayTheme is #warblers any member of the warbler family and the alternative is #yelloweyes any bird with yellow eyes.

Of course, Hank Heron is my #yelloweyes bestie.

If we are both in line at the grocery store, each with a full cart, and you start insulting the cashier to me, no. Absolutely not. We both signed up for this. Chill the eff out and relax. We can talk about the weather, or the holiday, but not about the cashier. Don’t be that asshole.

Another reminder to not “research” blood test results before seeing your doctor. Even if they want to see you the day after they read the results.

I’m sure everything is fine. It will not be a fun 24 hours waiting, my anxiety is having a great time.

Annoyed the Kraken but at least my tree is up and my snowman is comfy.

Cloudy, cold and misty day. My walk was quiet, with not too many creature out and about. The Hooded Mergansers never disappoint. The flower was one of the few left at the community garden.

Per @alan678.bsky.social - Saturday’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdonawire birds on a wire or line and the alternative is #silhouette.

I’m sharing one from this week. Crow harassing the bald eagle. When I saw what I’d captured I gasped. Right place at the right time with the right equipment.

Woke up at 5am and couldn’t get back to sleep. Fingers crossed I make it through the Seattle Torrent game!

Today @robcrank68.bsky.social has set the #BirdOfTheDay theme as #GroundedGulls, that's any Gull not in flight. And the Alternative is #Singing, that's any bird with its beak open.

I did a search on my phone and my Flickr account and this is all I found. This was from a trip to Kauai in 2019.

Visitor to my apartment building today. My neighbor named him Perry.

Beautiful Red-tailed hawk. I’ve seen him before but not so close.

I just spent 2 hours customizing my resume for a specific job that looked interesting. Between the time I found the job this morning, worked my resume, and submitted the application the job was removed from their website and is no longer available.

Grrrr…..

Per @alan678.bsky.social, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Thrushes and the alternative is #waders. I don’t have a thrush so I get to share my favorite waders, Hank and Hazel Haron.

I almost missed #BirdOfTheDay #round.

This little fella makes me smile.

I’m taking a masterclass on the Ethics of AI through The London School of Economics and Political Science. Very interesting. Charlie would prefer I pay attention to her.

I feel like I didn’t get nearly enough praise for these photos.

My local bald eagle paid a visit.
