Well now... I am trying to improve my post quantity but there isn't a whole lot to tell. So... while close to nothing, this isn't just nothing. Slightly more.
Let's start with a couple of pics just for fun.
So... a while back, when Covid-19 became quite the concern for most... I was a bit surprised to find that our postal person apparently felt it was too dangerous to take a box to a doorstep. Really?!? Gee... hope there isn't anything breakable in there!!! Quite the "cram-o-rama" there.
Now then... something very new to me upon our arrival in Waco was the Black-Bellied Whistling-Duck! I actually was walking one morning when I heard something whistling in the air... and when I looked up, I saw two of these ducks flying toward a rooftop... and whistling as they did! Very interesting. You can read about them here. But I caught a short video one morning during a walk. Unfortunately, there was no whistling to be heard during the video... but you can listen to it online if you want. (Click "listen" on the big picture at the top of the page if you go to the web site to read about them.)
On a different morning walk, I ran across this very lovely flower. Did not know what it was... but my phone app, PlantNet, IDd it for me in a heartbeat. It is actually a Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus L. It was on a VERY tall plant with a lot of them on it. Beautiful to see.
Walking obviously allows one to see things that might otherwise never be seen. When I walk in my 'hood, I walk on streets I would not drive on as they don't lead where I would be driving. However, sometimes it's so worth the walk!! Ran across this fun "blast from the past" the other morning. Had to capture it to share! (The California tags have been replaced with Texas tags... so reckon it's going to stay!)
Finally... we have a "bulk pickup" trash day about twice a year. The list of items that can be retrieved is always interesting. Walking the 'hood on that day (and the day before) can definitely be amusing. Some of the things that are sitting on the curb!! LOL!! At any rate, as I turned off of my street onto another, I noticed some white objects on the way down the hill. Couldn't quite make them out. But when I got closer... well... just had to take a little pic to share. Such a cute couple waiting for a ride. LOL!!
Well, I didn't think there was much to show you... but there was more than I thought! So... I'll save a couple of other things for the next round.
Please stay safe. Pay attention to the recommendations that will help protect you. Wishing you all good health!!!
Until next post...
