I love watching swallows - the way they swoop & dart around at great speed is fascinating to me. When we were away, there were some who would come by the beach periodically, swooping along near the palapas - I guess there must have been some other tasty little insects in there, but we didn't see (or feel!) any.
 
I have become inordinately fond of pelicans, which seem to be endemic in the Caribbean and Central America. Love watching them fish. They soar over the waters until they see something interesting, then dive nose first to get whatever fish it is. Looks like a plane crash but more graceful.
 
Saskatchewan has a big pelican population too - who knew?? I was really looking forward to seeing some when we travelled there a couple of years ago - but alas, they had fled southward by the time we arrived! I tried not to take it personally. We did see other gigantic flocks of snow geese and sandhill cranes that were migrating tho - that was amazing.
 
Saskatchewan has great flocks of birds - at certain times of the year we can hear, and see, them flying over our house. Pelicans, sandhill cranes, various types of geese, - it is fun sitting in the yard trying to identify what is coming from the sound. Plenty of small birds too - sometimes also in big groups.
 
I just sent a stern e-mail to someone who, in my opinion, exhibits snippy, distrustful behaviour. Yesterday it took 13 e-mails to convince her she forgot to send two receipts...one to me, and one to my church. I was very nice and understanding about it, but she refused to believe me. When she finally checked into it, she discovered that I was right. We work together on a Board, and I try very hard to be kind. But she doesn't. Finally, today I had enough and asked her to please not respond to legitimate questions in a distrustful and snippy way. I wish I were strong enough to take the abuse of others...and I take it for awhile, forgiving and overlooking...but then I get to a point where I can't handle it anymore. Sigh. It may come down to me needing to quit this board, as her skills are more important than mine to this particular organization.
 
The power of Bull is a favoured outlet for people that have doubts about everything ...

I have no doubts about human negativity and thus accept it as normal ... or paranormal indications for my mind! An activity that is out there ...

Thus stuff pitted against my greater psyche ... it is the great unknown to me ... or the dark mysterious connection between my ears ...

Observe this bullish behaviour in many leaders of government, merc. and directors of BS! Sometimes it is so thick it can be shovelled ... and thus it may be flung back in feedback! It may be the source of flammable gasses!

So difficult Kay. Sometimes people like this just make it unmanageable for the rest of us to continue. I have also had similar experience, and sadly decided to withdraw after significant effort had been expended.

Scavenger birds. I used to eat my lunch in a downtown park/ square when the weather was nice. Once, I was sitting on a bench, I put my sandwich down beside me (back in the plastic bag it was in) for a second to use my phone...and a seagull swooped in and took my lunch. I think it actually landed on the end of the bench, then walked over and grabbed the bag and flew into the centre of the square to eat it. The gull had gall! Then I watched it and another seagull who’d come by, fight over my sandwich, in the square. They made a big mess. It was quite an unexpected event...and a hungry afternoon. Fascinating to watch, though. If it happened to me frequently, maybe not so much.

The seagulls and magpies fight here regularly. The magpies will also eat tomatoes, haven't noticed the seagulls doing that.

I think often strong people don't take abuse :)
Sorry you're dealing with that, hopefully she can learn to work better with those who are working toward the same thing.
 
Strength is power and thus the bulls of destruction ... meant mostly for covid operations of what is unseen ... sometime known as covert and bad listed by governments that practice such things in the dark ...

Stuff we don't know ... won't hurt you ... like snake pits ... sometimes likened to brain folds ... a bit sheepish?

The great powers were obviously against thinking men always under the premise of the hated prophets ... its how it ghost ...
 
DST has struck again for many of us. Made 2 pots of everything. Note to self: we could really use an espresso machine.

Like the human ha-soul ... it is complex and poorly understood as brain-bodean connection! Thus considerable disconnects and dis emmanations!

It may evolve though ... if thou has the time to note the silent "gh" as black Eta's ... a literary device ... as bacca it is mysterious too ... it beckons!
 
Thanks to Mrs.Anteater for the espresso machine!
Now... anyone have any idea where the user's manual is?

In the meantime, coffee cart is ready!

Google it. I am sure there will be a copy somewhere online.

* puts kettle on and is thankful I don't drink espresso *
