Nuthatch

March 1, 2026. It was a bit cold today but we went for a snowshoe in Pine Grove Forest. Just at the end of the walk a couple of nuthatches made their presence known. It was a very bright day, but with a chilly wind. https://flic.kr/p/2rZ7gLb March 1, 2026 at 10:06AM

February 28, 2026. Rabbit. Late evening, in the back yard, under the bird feeder. The rabbit is a local resident; we see its footprints all the time. The debris around the rabbit is bird seed scattered there by the squirrels. We have a good population of squirrels here. Not seen in the photo is a cardinal trying to sneak in for a snack. #SDDaily.

February 26, 2026. Emma. Getting Emma to be still enough to photograph is an art in itself. Work day in the office today and tomorrow. I'm also having my first-ever ultrasound Friday (purely precautionary). Long, busy week. No photo from Friday because I was so tired and went to bed early. #SDDaily #caturday.

February 25, 2026. View from Timmies. Looking out the window at the Riverside Hospital. As we get older the doctors want to do more testing to anticipate problems before they arise. I don't disagree with this perspective, and not having to pay at the front door makes it a lot easier to do. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/Tk2Ol45

February 24, 2026. Metro. A quick trip to pick up ingredients for this week's curry. Otherwise I spent the day in the home office working on getting my online life sorted. Still waiting for the nice weather. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/f0XZmok

February 23, 2026. Paperwork. I'm pulling together all the stuff I need to make sure I get my pension. I wonder what happens if I don't do it - do they just not pay me? I'm not going to try to find out. But it is the sort of question that passes through my mind. What really bothers me, though, is that this can't be done electronically. It's paper all the way down. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/zBoST5L

Pine Grove Forest

February 22, 2026. The forest in winter. Our walk today took us through Pine Grove forest. Conditions were poor; we should have used snowshoes but didn't. Not too cold, though. https://flic.kr/p/2rXXfHB February 22, 2026 at 09:57AM
