Clear

Saturday. To sleep just after eleven to awaken then briefly at five-thirty, blink, and then for good at six-thirty, so enough sleep. Maybe. Up to walk to breakfast under uneven skies, arriving around the usual time to enter the inside dining area and settle down at my table with the papers.

The two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee again. Hungry and under one fifty-three on the scale this morning, finishing up around nine to set out for home under a still overcast sky, the weather people saying into the mid-seventies later with even higher temperatures due this coming week. We're trapped in a real box for lack of water in the entire state and it doesn't look as if it's going to do anything but get worse.

Home with a sore back and feeling more tired than I would have predicted at the start of the day, but took the selfie in the lobby (where else?) and settled in at the computer to finish yesterday's entry, post the thing and then start on the pictures.

It just went down hill from there and so I ended up stopping to lie down and then return in an hour to finish the morning photographs, turn on the PGA tournament at noon, snap a picture of the same white feathered pigeon, but then flake out again and this time sleep for another hour. I'm writing this at three in the afternoon, feeling better after the nap, but this muddled state seems to describe life for the while.

Evening. Watched some NCIS - New Orleans, interesting at least for its setting at the beginning of the pandemic - who's wearing a mask, who isn't - bailed before nine and went to bed, head relatively clear.

The photo up top was taken at the 2013 Carnaval Street Festival with a Nikon D4 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
