Pics Taken Around the House (March 2021 – Jan. 2022)

Written by ceddammit

ThrowBack Thursday (TBT), as you have come to know it here on Voyages With Parkinson’s, was originally created as a way to force myself to catch up on what had become a nine-year backlog of photos. I am now caught up (or will be once this post goes live). Today’s TBT consists of just a few photos from around my home because that’s all that was left in the backlog. Let’s start with a few shots of springtime in the Carolinas (photos taken March 22, 2021):

About a month after the above pics were taken, I got my first snapshot of Ballards Pond’s very part-time resident great blue heron:

I recently threw down the cash to get a BIG zoom lens, so I’m eager to see Mr. Heron return. I won’t need the zoom lens to get pictures of frogs, though. They just come right on into the house, like this one did. Notice that the frog has a Bear hair sticking to his butt.

Speaking of Bear, here are a few shots of him:

Lastly, I bring you snow. In Charlotte. Well, in Matthews actually, but it was in Charlotte, too. This was January 16, 2022:

I had taken Bear to the mountains before this, so that he could experience snow…
…but this was his first time experiencing snow at his home.
And when you have a dog that looks like a polar bear…
…ya gotta think…
…about putting him to work.
Go get it! Fetch the endorsement deal!
How could Coca-Cola not pay me for this?

My photographic backlog HAS BEEN CLEARED! The curse has been lifted! Long live Jambi! But what does this mean for TBT? Fear not, TBT fans, for I have loads of material left – stuff that was not part of the backlog and/or stuff that I only ever shared with Facebook friends (before I started this blog). That said, there will be no TBT for the next three weeks, as I will instead be reporting from the road. I will be driving around “the rest of Wyoming”, but before that, I will most likely be exploring a thin strip of Colorado that I have not yet explored. Stay tuned!
