We’ve been having a few technical difficulties lately while transferring this site from one page to another. Several posts were lost, including the first installment of photographing people. I will try to recreated that over the next couple of days, but meanwhile, here I am at the cabin with lots to work on. I have a couple of essay/stories in mind, some posts to do, a number of eHow articles I’m ready to write – but their site is having technical difficulties as well. Plus, I’m working on some material for Burn the Witch – the upcoming all-woman art show.
So meanwhile, I’ll let you know what it’s like here at the cabin.
Swings are squeaking from the A-frame down the way – the weekend renters have some young kids. Every once in a while the hummingbirds swoop in, making a mighty big racket for such small birds. Nuthatches are combing the bark of the pine trees, woodpeckers are knock-knock-knocking down the way, and the blue jays are ever watchful in case I put out more peanuts. Breeze wafting through the trees, a little warm, but at least 20 degrees cooler than Bako. And occasionally squirrel chatter as they feel the need to announce themselves.
Ever-watchful jays
Success! Found a peanut.
Hummers
I’m really grateful to have this time alone – so much I want to do. But if I weren’t alone, it would look something like this.
Various assortments of kids would be on the porch – feeding the blue jays constantly. Once in a while, they gorge.
Celebration
With such a big family, there is always something to celebrate. This cake, from a recent visit, had been eagerly awaited all afternoon. The kids put the sprinkles on.
And then there is Lily, again, doing what she does best.
Within the next two days I’ll rewrite and post how to photograph people.
