"I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtledove

. . . and am still on their trail." (Thoreau, Walden)

Well, I lost the squirrel who was sitting on yon "rock" eating his lunch. By the time I got back with the camera, he was gone, of course. I thought, as long as I had the camera out there, I might as well use it.

This is the limb where the hawk sat one day last week, when I didn't have the camera out. Framed, she was.

I accomplished a thing or two this morning, including calling up and speaking sharply to PayPal. They changed the shipping label procedure and I couldn't figure it out. Why is it when something isn't broken, people want to fix it, or at least change it?

Speaking of lunch, I think I'll go reheat a bowl of chicken soup.
