Yesterday on the blog I was writing about the swallows returning soon. It is a sign of further Spring progression. And wouldn’t you know I saw four sitting on the wire here yesterday afternoon. Just like I planned it. Too bad more things don’t go like that.
Then indoors, last evening, we had a TV scheduling conflict. The NCAA Basketball Championship was bumping up against the Ken Burns documentary on Hemingway. Well, fortunately or unfortunately, the Zags had a horrible game and we had to stop watching and there we were for the beginning of the film. What a powerful production. The first part went up to the late 1920’s and there must be one or more parts. Need to check those out. I know Ryck our CECBC is a big fan of his so we will need to talk with him on the topic.
Time to go for now. Walk this afternoon at 4.
beautiful day loves, Felipé.
What a coincidence I went to Scotland today,not far in just over the border with north west England.mainly to visit the Lochmaben Stone the remains of a prehistoric stone circle.the circle is very close to the Irish Sea being on the Solway Firth and guess what on the salt marshes I saw about 20 Swallows swooping up and down.it’s a 2 and 3/4 hour train trip there for me,same back, but it was worth it for the beautiful views and the Swallows and to cap it as it’s International Dark Skies Week when I got back home it was a beautiful clear crisp night and the winter constellations where drifting off to the west.
Kevan ~ yea, those swallows are unmistakeable when they swoop up and down. Love that they are eating those bugs, less to bite me. You know on some English chinaware there is an image of two swallows in the air stopped and apparently motionless, like a mirror image. I saw two swallows do that once, thought it was an impossibility. Maybe one was feeding the other, mid air refueling. Felipé.
