The cool thing about this picture is the white "bumps" on the rocks are birds.

Very pretty. I'm impressed.

I hope to take better ones as I learn to master the details of this huge heavy lens.

Were you ever to the 1st Disney World Discovery Island. I understand the Turkey Vultures are still out there.

eeeh no.
never visited there.

Also, the Zopilotes (black vultures) are the only usual big birds you see on the roads.

I was surprised to see turkey.. and the zone tailed hawk flying all together in the same up-draft.

also, remember my very first trip to WDW was in 2013.. so I'm kinda of a "late bloomer".
Didnt had the money or time before.

I could see it also at Coronado Springs Resort.

considering its a huge mexican tradition to add the nativity display in every home. Id say yes!

Just watched the newest Joe Rohde video from a few days ago. That man is intense.

And that earlobe is going to need some plastic surgery pretty soon.

I seen it. I was distracted by the ear thing as well.

We have had a great deal of birds of prey lately in the last few months. We've always had them just never in this volume. I saw 5 huge ones flying together in a draft last week. Rare to see 2 together let alone 5. We are also getting birds from the Gulf up here, I really love seeing them but what the heck don't they know it will be 8 degrees tonight?

Maybe they do and they want to eat individuals before it gets colder? (aka, gotta get chubbier for winter!)

Just wish they'd ban together and take out some of the coyotes and foxes multiplying. Now the deer after the powers to be thinned the herds are almost non existent. Thinking they thinned a bit too much.

It sure would be pretty down by the lake at the Coronado by the abandoned boat slip. Just not next to the Margarita bar.

Hi everyone. Just waking up from a post-church nap. Now I'm watching Cake Wars. Hubby is out with the kids and I am home alone until bedtime. Last night we decorated for Christmas so I am enjoying sitting by our peaceful little Christmas village. Going to play ketchup now.

I'm so jealous i can't start decorating until Friday and that's only if I get up. the boys are going to grandma's for the weekend. I may need to sleep in a bit.

I think this would taste much better than tufurkey.

LOL I was never a fan of tofurkey as it tastes very processed, once and done for me.

Raptors are impressive birds. I like watching them fly -- so majestic with their wide wing span.

I always thought so too until this past summer when I got buzzed by a very large bald eagle. They're quite impressive but from a bit farther away

We had dinner at the Brown Derby Lounge (sorry for the dark pictures)
Mango daiquiri for hubby and a mojito for me

We could see a little of the Osborne lights from our table

We made a huge mistake eating at the Brown Derby lounge.....we shared the sliders. We really should have gotten our own helping. The duck confit slider was really good, we even liked the coleslaw on it. The other slider was a Wagyu beef with bacon.

We shared the charcuterie board and we weren't sure what everything was but it was really delicious.

My farmers market left me a month ago, didn't even finish October this year. I am taking a tiny bit of solace in the ChristKindlmarket has opened a satilite market in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. It is an interest Market of German origin that started in DT Chicago 20 years ago. I was fortunate to hit the city on one day a year having to train into the city. So hopefully next week I will be able to visit the market that has some amazing German Foods, nice for winter. It is dramatically smaller than Chicago's but I will take it. Especially Dinkels Bakery.

There's one of those out in Allentown Pa. If I get the time I'm hoping to make to drive out there and then down by Kutztown to a couple of nice fabric stores. How I wish I had the time.

So, who here is watching The Lion Guard tonight? I am, but I'm a bit anxious about whether or not it'll be good.

I DVRd it for my ds and I to watch. I'm in the same boat as you with the wondering.
