I do like a good read, but lately I haven't really been up to reading, so I do Word Seek Puzzles. Wouldn't a Bob Hope film be relaxing...
Walking around our yard relaxes me. Here is an Imperial Moth that I spotted on an elephant ear plant yesterday morning.
For my birthday I got a new lens for my camera, a 70-400 mm Sony lens. My Sweetheart knows me well :-D This is the first photo with the new lens. Unfortunately my arm/shoulder isn't strong enough to take hand-held pictures with this lens on my camera yet. I took the picture from my recliner propped on a pillow that I keep in the chair. The picture is through the window which had the blinds down and open. Isn't it amazing to be able to take a picture through a slat of a blind? The picture is of a female Northern Cardinal. The picture is cropped with a little noise reduction... ISO was 800 and the camera on auto.
It is relaxing taking pictures of birds.

Frank wanted to make sure the lens was working properly and took a few more pictures. This is a baby Northern Cardinal. We are hoping that it has survived. It looks too young to have left the nest. It was preening what little feathers it had. I do find it relaxing, but at the same time exciting to look upon nature.
Evening before last Frank spotted this Luna Moth relaxing on the side of his shop. It is a beautiful moth.
Looking at flowers and smelling their aromas are relaxing. I find the colors of the Mexican Petunias relaxing.
There you have it... four pictures from me and four from Frank. I love sharing a hobby with him. It is relaxing... most of the time :-D
