Workers At Risk

Today I am thankful for

grocery workers

as they continue to serve

providing fresh fruit

and the fruit of the spirit;

as we hold them in prayer

of whom our daughter is one.

Also thankful for the shields that are

being put in place at their registers.

The Change of Season Continues . . .

despite the chaos.

One hopeful periwinkle 

popping through the dead 
and decaying matter of the winter.

Everyone take care. One day at a time.

'Hope springs eternal". 

---Alexander Pope, 1732

Joining Blue Monday

Today I am thankful for . . .

discovery.

We call them 'phones' but

it seems everyday I discover

something more this little COMPUTER can do.

Of course it will come as no surprise

that it is the wonder of the camera

that is occupying my time.

Instagram was a main factor in my decision

to upgrade to iP11.

I have an app on both my 

laptop and phone  

to create IG posts from my 

Canon camera photos and videos

for transferring to IG

since posting has to be with a phone.

Now I have 'discovered' YouTube tutorials

for using the iP11 camera,

which takes quality photos,

 to post directly from my iP11

Here is one from yesterday

But . . .

the big discovery is 

that my bluetooth keyboard 

works with my iP11

(never thought to try it before)

The Morning Skies . . .

have been beautiful of late.

And the rains did come 

from these mackerel clouds

Mackerel sky. ... The old rhymes "Mackerel sky, not twenty-four hours dry"

A mackerel sky is a common term for a sky with rows of cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds displaying an undulating, rippling pattern similar in appearance to fish scales; this is caused by high altitude atmospheric waves. Wikipedia

Beautiful Bird . . .

The avian genus Quiscalus contains six of the ten species of grackle, gregarious passerine birds in the icterid family. They are native to North and South America. The genus was named and described by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1816. Wikipedia
