Hanging out this evening in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, and suddenly the scene is flooded with Sulphur-crested Cockatoos!
The resolution isn’t all that great, and I couldn’t get them all in the frame at the same time, but what a cool sight, a residential yard in a quiet neighborhood filled with cockatoos!
And along with the big cockatoos, slightly smaller, also white, Little Corella cockatoos on the ground. (Along with some rock pigeons, just like we have in the States.)
My cellphone automatically lights up every time I pick it up and look at it. I thought it was triggered by the motion of picking it up, but then I realized I don’t have to move the phone at all; if I wave my hand in front of it, not just anywhere but up by the camera, the face of the phone lights up. A convenient feature because any time I pick it up, it’s ready to use.
That suggests that the phone camera is on though, even when it’s not on, so it can recognize when I have a need for the phone. I guess the phone camera only works when I tell it to, or when the programmer tells it to.
There is nothing left to hide.
Here is how it came out.
A nice rock garden.
Via Zoom.
Good videoconferencing. We’ve come a long way from early Skype. (The empty chair is where Judy was before she joined me in front of my computer in the other room.) There were more grandkids involved. People came and went.
A nice Mother’s Day treat.
