Can you take just one more turkey vulture shot? This one looks like it’s coming in for a landing, but I think it was actually getting the hell out of dodge because that crazy old woman with the camera was getting too damn close.
Happy Friday (and Happy XiShun’s birthday), everyone! It’s the start of Spring Break here at Chez 10K, though there will no rest for the weary, unfortunately. Busy, busy, busy! As always, have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the Friday Ark!
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who recently graduated from college and moved out on her own (keep your eyes open and you might spot her at some point, twirling joyously right before she tosses her hat in the air).
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist (yes!! bring on gay marriage, give us a single-payer, completely socialized health care system, and replace the stupid war on drugs with legal, regulated, uber-taxed marijuana -- and some very handy industrial hemp!).

I read “9 Chickweed Lane” and one of that strip’s main characters dances ballet. Which is exactly what this bird looks like it’s doing.
Yes, it also struck me as a very athletic view of the bird. I love how you can see its muscles.
What a cool shot, I love it!
Eileen, thank you! I’m really enjoying your bird blogging, too!!
