Truthweaver Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Someone paid for my hot meal when I went to the grocery store yesterday! At the checkout I realized I'd left my card at home, so I asked the cashier to set my food aside for me while I rushed home to find it. When I came back, she told me the older gentleman in line behind me had paid for it! So nice of him, and really appreciated. Also I noticed that I now have a "Members" title under my pic. I assume that's a good thing? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkweed is what monarch caterpillars eat, and my mom has been raising them this summer, so she asked me to get her some seeds of the kind of milkweed that grows in Utah but not where she lives in Ohio. So that was neat. And while I was at the park I got some nice photos of a kingfisher! I didn't have any good ones until now, because kingfishers aren't very cooperative: Usually they fly away as soon as you look at them, let alone put your camera up. But this one spent several minutes sitting on a little pier at a pond, diving off every once in a while to catch fish. 3 photos under the spoiler: Hide contents Belted Kingfisher. This one's a female because she has two bands across her chest/belly. Males only have one band, and it's the same blue-gray color as their back.. About to take off! And my favorite photo from today, the kingfisher in the middle of a dive off the pier for a fish! Isn't milkweed sap the stuff Kaladin used as disinfectant in Wok? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add: Milkweed sap is actually pretty toxic, and putting it on/in a wound would be a Very Bad Idea (TM).

+Sorana Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) So this week in general was great. Especially yesterday, but all in all I am really happy right now. Yesterday we went to a concert of my favourite band and they were fantastic. They played lots of great songs, especially lots of older ones. It was really fun to see, how the crowd was quieter when they announced their old ones. I have almost no voice today, because I had to sing every song along. Their music helped through a lot of darker times in my life and to see them again after three years, I can't really describe how much that means to me. And I decided to go to another concert of them again in two weeks. There are still tickets available And my brother and I decided to fly to Australia next year and right now it looks like my company will play along and I can go. And Skyward hit the market this week and it was great! Edited November 10, 2018 by Sorana 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I took an all-day birding trip on Thursday and saw some great birds, including one I'd never seen before! And you know what that means... Nature photo spam! Birds of prey (5 photos): Spoiler Northern Harrier. The males, like this one, are popularly nicknamed "gray ghosts." Great Horned Owls. These two are always sleeping in the exact same barn during the day, and I've posted pictures of them here on the Shard several times before. Closer view of the owl on the right. "Can't you see I'm trying to sleep here??" This is also a Great Horned Owl, but a different individual that hangs out in a different area of Antelope Island, a ranch on the southern end. He's not as easy to find on a regular basis, but an owl sitting in a tree is always a prettier photo than an owl in a manmade barn. Check out those wicked talons! Other birds (5 photos): Spoiler Loggerhead Shrike, popularly nicknamed a "butcher-bird" for its habit of impaling prey on sharp objects such as thorns or barbed wire. They're rather skittish of people, so I think this is probably the best photo I've ever gotten of one. Black-billed Magpie. A much more common bird than the shrike, but also not very cooperative for photos most of the time! A pair of Killdeer. I swear there had to be at least 100 of these guys running around in the mud next to the road to Antelope Island when I was there on Thursday. This next one is called a Black Scoter. It's a type of duck that normally hangs out on the ocean, so it was a bit unusual to find one in landlocked Utah. Plus I had never seen a Black Scoter before, so that was doubly exciting! And here is a Surf Scoter. They also are not usually found far from the ocean, but I had seen one before. Dragonfly (2 photos): Spoiler I'm no expert at dragonfly ID, but I think this one is called a Variegated Meadowhawk. (Thank you, Google!) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
