Saturday




A lovely day, sunny and 60F :)

First picture on this blog with the new phone, a MotoG3.

Pocket and Kent meet three odd witches.

Note- Had to post this from home because the picture file from the 13MP camera in the new phone was 9.1MB! Too big for Blogger to handle as an email. I shall have to see if another camera app will produce files of a size it can handle.

A very nice day for a walk in the woods... Mostly blue sky with a few puffy clouds, a light wind and 64F :)

It must be the weather, but I have seen at least half a dozen snakes on the trails in the last week- 3 of them today! They've all slithered off quickly at my approach, but I don't remember seeing this many any of the previous years we've been coming here.

Music as I'm between books-
Yellow Submarine
The Beatles
