Sometimes I look up when Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I are walking the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville.
And I’m rewarded greatly.
This day I spotted two birds enjoying the blue sky and bright sun side-by-side.
I was only able to snap one shot with my iPhone 6s before either I or my cherished rescue mutt spooked one of them.
Dagnabbit. I wanted that closeup.
You are so funny, bro Mark. As my Mother always told me, the only way to get a closeup of a bird is to throw salt on it’s tail so it won’t fly away. I accepted this as gospel since it came from my mom, and only on recent analysis realized just how gullible kids are. Or maybe I was. Gullible, that is. After all, I AM the one who ate a mudpie when my brother told me it was a chocolate pie. Probably could have swallowed the mud part but broke a baby tooth on the rocks he held it all together with in liu of eggs and flour. Smile, little brother.

Glad to hear that bro Mark. Yesterday was a very good day, but paid for it today. Still found some things to laugh about though. My love to Karen.

It seems like the great photo ops only turn up when I don’t have my camera with me, and my phone takes lousy photos. You do good with your phone, Mark.

Thanks, CM. Phones are getting better. Me, too. 🙂 They are easier to casually carry than a camera, for sure.
