Looking for the next meal


I had been watching a Great Gray owl yesterday, when a young couple stopped on the gravel road to let me know that they had seen another Great Gray on a fence post. I checked it out and I'm not sure if this was the first owl's mate or a separate owl. Managed to get a few photos before it flew too far down the road, and then returned to the Great Gray that I had been watching first. The sun came out for a while, which made such a wonderful change from all our rainy days. On my way home, I decided to call in and try and get a few different photos of the beautiful Stinkhorn fungi that I photographed the day before, June 24th. What a sorry sight - they had all "died" and shrivelled up. Apparently, they don't last long! When I eventually got home, I found that the roofers had packed up and left. For another day on which I was "forced" to keep myself and my car away from the building for the whole day, I ended up having a great day! (I found a street parking permit in my mailbox when I got home! Too late for the roofing, but will still be needed for when the windows are all replaced.) Not sure if the roofers still have further things to do, but whether they have finished or not, all the new windows for the building were delivered sometime yesterday, so it won't be long before my eight windows and patio door are ripped out and replaced - waited 13+ years for this to happen! There are so many things that I need to try and get done before they knock on my door and say "We're here!" Soon, it will all be over : ))))
