HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Last week's Chat thread is HERE.
I missed a few days last week. I've read all your posts, but I won't try to reply except to wish everyone well.

Some large animal has been hunting on my deck before dawn (about 5:00 am). It lands on the deck with a big thud. It's either jumping down from the tree limb over the deck or jumping up from the top step. I can hear it chase fairly large prey (probably raccoons). If it's coming out of the tree, it could be a bobcat! I have deer staying in my backyard along the creek, and a pair of bobcats could have moved in to predate the fawns. I've read that bobcat numbers are increasing a lot in this region. I'm not afraid of them; they aren't a threat to me. I hope I get to see whatever it is!
I happened across the webpages of a couple of photographers whose work just makes me happy when I look through their galleries, so I thought I'd share their sites.
The first photographer is Michael Shainblum, who photographs gorgeous landscapes and seascapes (especially with the Milky Way in the background). Here's his website (click on "Photography") and his Facebook page.
The second is George Karbus, who lives and works on the west coast of Ireland (but also takes photos all over the world). He focuses on coastal and marine photography. Here's his website (click on "Gallery") and his Facebook page.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Clare Bailey said: Sounds good, Lindy. I hope you get the weather! Doubt it, Clare! Not expecting much from the look of the forecast. Lmac - Nice photo. Did anyone see the programme on Owls last night on BBC2? It looked good, but we had to turn it off after ten minutes as Bonnie wanted to catch them all!! We've recorded it for consumption later.
Sounds good, Lindy. I hope you get the weather! Doubt it, Clare! Not expecting much from the look of the forecast.
Lmac - Nice photo.
Good Morning Everyone. Another horrible windy / wet morning, with a weather warning !!!
I have watched Big Blue UK each morning this week. It was about sea birds this morning. Previous mornings have been about whales, dolphins etc in the UK waters. I have enjoyed watching it.
Enjoy your time in Wales, Linda. You could be lucky with the weather. Here, our forecast doesn't look great, but it should be lighter rain than we have been getting recently. I didn't see the owl programme last night.
Chrisy, How wonderful to see the bee eaters. I saw them on TV and have been reading about their progress.
A wonderful photograph, Lmac. Thank you.
I may put on my flippers and go shopping, if the roads are not too flooded.
I hope you have a wonderful time in Wales, Lindy! I wish you good weather and great adventures.
Brenda: Stay safe in the awful weather!
That sounds as if I can talk to cakes......LOL!!
Lindy: I deleted the post. Decided it might not be appropriate. Sorry if I froze your screen.
Seemed alright to me, Diane :-). I laughed at the story! Reminded me a bit of one I wrote once about a cat!!
More cards made, went to consultation at town hall about integration of health and social care for adults (and, where appropriate, their carers) did other minor stuff. OH finished the front grass and has scarified the back ready to mow in the next dry weather! He will be at Annan Museum tomorrow afternoon - and we shall both be there in the evening for an opening event for the next exhibition, about Women's Football (it was played at the munitions factory, and later by the Wolsey girls at the sock factory!
Pleased MARGO managed the show at the weekend, and is already looking forward to another.
Hope the sun shines for LINDA, her OH and Bonnie to enjoy the new outside table!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
