After much ado, I changed my ancient desktop computer to a minimally newer model.    I didn’t go into the big box computer store to be insulted, but this was provided free of charge.   I persevered in my attempt to conquer technology, but I don’t have a brilliant or cohesive post for this week.   So in lieu of that I am offering up random portraits from the past two weeks.

We’ve had some fine spring-like weather, with warm updrafts that are perfect for soaring and flirting (the other hawk slipped out of view).   This is one of the hawks that lives on the hill behind my house.

This is one of the dinosaurs posing with a basket of roses.  I’m not really sure what this dino was up to!

I was waiting for the phone to ring at a charity fundraiser.   I must have been completely bored to take a photo of myself.   Also there is not much interesting to photograph about a line of phones.

This smiling building with a banana split flying overhead was rather unsurprisingly taken at an ice cream shop.  This local business offers gigantic portions and stays busy.  I enjoyed a late night mango gelato under his friendly gaze.
