Hello friends, I’m sharing with you this photo of a barn owl that I received from a friend who lives in the desert of southern Africa. Have a great day.
Coucou les amis je vous partage cette photo d une chouette effraie reçu d une amie qui est dans le desert du sud de I Afrique. Passez une chouette journée.
I believe this is a nest made by the Sociable Weaver. These nests are large enough to hold over 100 pairs of weavers, making them possibly the largest bird-made structures.
Interesting read. Learned about robbbers and squatters, too. Thanks!
One never knows what we’ll learn on Superbowl, but it’s always fascinating!
Absolutely! And activity is increasing, which makes learning more likely, and the conversation is good. Unfortunately I have to get off my duff soon and get busy, but I’m very pleased with the activity and diversity of users itt. Thanks for keeping this magazine active and interesting! Looking forward to hearing about your concert, too!
It’s been exciting to see what other people find to share! I like things like the art today where it’s super interesting but not something I’d know about to seek out.
The concert went well! The tent blew down on the sound guys after our set, but they were fine.
I wasn’t as nervous as I had anticipated after not having played in front of people for so long. I never really got any anxiety though, which was a first. Having taken lessons now for piano instead of being self taught for guitar/bass that I’ve played in public before, I felt I had a lot more competence and confidence in what I was doing, so I didn’t worry as much about what I was doing. I basically sat down and said “let’s do this!” and just gave it my best.
I don’t think I goofed up anything anyone would have noticed, and we sounded pretty good as a whole. Teacher’s already talking about our next event coming up and I’d gladly take part in that as well! It was a fun challenge.
Awesome! I knew you were going to be just fine, and I’m glad to know it went swimmingly well for everyone but the sound guys, but as long as everyone had fun and no one got hurt, and it was successful, it was a win!
Cheers, my friend!
They had lots of people scrambling to rescue them, so they got to enjoy an outpouring of compassion! 😄
Thank you for all your positive support!
You’re so much more than welcome! Thank you for a safe space from the world’s collective shadow self, here. You’ve saved my sanity more than once! 🤗
I was going to say sometimes the small things can make a big difference, but that actually reminded me of another story from the weekend!
The one head lady at the clinic was saying someone called up with a scarily diseased racoon she was handling bare handed, but the call turned into a human rescue! Through the conversation of trying to help the racoon, this lady seemed to be in some kind of abusive situation with a violently drunk spouse, so now she had 2 species in crisis to deal with over the phone!
I don’t know what happened with the lady, but the raccoon did get picked up by another clinic, but you never know who’s going to call the animal helpline! 😦
