Steve and Judy's Travels!

Usually they’re at the waterline foraging, but here they are on a post.

Willets are conspicuous, and a coastal thing, except when they go inland to breed on the prairie in the summer.

Post-cataract surgery, as expected, the sight in my right eye is improving every day.  That’s normal for the first week or two as my eye and brain adjust.  I got the multifocal lens, so now I see well at any distance without glasses and even though the vision in my left eye is pretty good, my right eye is already better.  But now I miss something.  I miss the transition lenses on my glasses that go from light to dark and keep the sunlight just right whether I’m indoors or out, sunny or shady!  If I want that back, I’ll have to find some nonprescription photochromic sunglasses.  That’s funny.  Now that I don’t need glasses, I’m looking for glasses.

I want to send out a really good closeup of an American Oystercatcher.  But I don’t have one.  The best I’ve got this year is this.

He wouldn’t let me get any closer.  The faster I walked, the faster he walked.

Stand under a random van.

At the parking lot for the bridge to Mexico.

Bronzed Cowbirds beating the heat.

Got the first eye done about 15 years ago.  Got the second eye done today, already.

I’m a little bleary.  Or is that blurry?  Hard to tell from here.
