The electricity went out in the midst of uploading my photos to RedBubble and Fine Art America. Luckily I did not lose any of the work in progress.
It was a hot, sunny day with not much to do so I grabbed the Canon and the tripod and went to the back yard again. The brown and yellow birds have a running battle at the bird feeder and we are sure supplying a lot of crushed corn for their benefit.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a familiar movement behind one of the orange trees. FINALLY! I saw my new friend who will also be named Tom Thumb. This Sparkling Violetear, very tiny, then zipped over to the bougainvillea bush and spent some time there. He does not seem to have found our feeders yet but we are sure that will happen in time.
I took many shots and finally put the camera on the "Sports" setting to get rapid-fire stop-action shots and was certain that I had some good ones.
I came back in to process the photos and the last half of my photos would not load. It forced me to format my card, losing all those photos. I guess we will have to wait to try again. Sorry.
I took Cristina into Tulua to help Adiela check out one of their dogs that got adopted out late and was sick. They brought medication for it.
We had 2 parades, led by the firetruck, down our street. I think the first one was for a political candidate and the second was for Miss Andalucia. They went by so quick I didn't even have time to grab a camera. The main problem too is that I am usually only clad in shorts and hesitate to to outside like that when a crowd has gathered. LOL.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
