Yesterday I watched the last episodes of Season 6 of Outlander. Gosh, I love that series! Then I started on the book State Of Terror by cousin Hilary Clinton and it is hilarious how she has snuck supposed fiction about a previous President that could only be the Orange Menace. I am enjoying the book immensely. This was while watching Vegas Golden Knights manage to humiliate Dallas, in Dallas, and advace to the Stanley Cup Finals. Go Vegas!
I was to go do a portrait shoot for a friend today, but circumstances got in their way today, so it will need to be delayed to another date.
Our Canadian tennis hopeful, Bianca Andreescu won a hard match in Paris at the French Open today, as did Dennis Shapavolov.
After late chores and lunch, I cleaned up and went on a bit of a photo trip on the Golden, just because I tend to be a hermit and stay in my room for days on end, wasting the beautiful sunshine. Being bored and going stir crazy just begged me to go on a sanity trip. I went by the Legislature, which is always picturesque, the High Level Bridge, and followed part of the route of the High Level Bridge Streetcar, which ends 2 blocks from home.
I was near coming off the High Level Bridge and I was hearing a loud "hoo hoo" so I turned, thinking maybe it was an owl??.. It turned out to be a very loud mourning dove that I could somehow hear over the busy traffic.
I offered the Conn Iggulden book set to family first, but they have no time to read that much, so I took them down to Don, the other photographer in the building. He was very appreciative, having just finished a series of books on Alexander The Great.
I had 3 cobs of corn from WalMart in the freezer and that is what I nuked for supper. Not big cobs, but they were surprisingly fresh and tasty.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
