Suz - Not only...Thanks for your comments everyone.<br /><br />Suz - Not only do I have conversations with nature...I often talk to inanimate objects as well, especially to cars.<br /><br />Cicero and Dog Geek - I'm not sure why I get in a funk when I finish a good book. I know there are plenty more out there, but it's rather like saying goodbye to a friend.<br /><br /><br />Science guy - Didn't you love the series when Zonker planted the Georgia O'Keefe bulbs?<br /><br />Vicki - I used a Nikkor 70-300 mm lens. I don't have a blind. Our birds are so used to my being on the deck they sort of ignore my presence if I don't move too much.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-6006220977406434332009-12-04T07:24:37.849-05:002009-12-04T07:24:37.849-05:00Tee hee hee!!

We also had the horribly high winds the past couple of days. Every year, when I decorate outside and put my big red bows on the deck and out front, we ALWAYS have a horrible wind storm.

Luckily, this year, there was no damage.<br /><br />Have a great Friday.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-79615907173400759562009-12-03T19:29:27.010-05:002009-12-03T19:29:27.010-05:00I know just what you mean about the post-good-book...I know just what you mean about the post-good-book funk.
