Good morning. ☕☕☕
30 May 2026
I remember when telephones with push‑buttons started showing up. They looked so modern, so futuristic, like something out of a science‑fiction movie. If you had one sitting on your desk, you must have been somebody — even though, at first, they didn’t really do anything the old rotary phones couldn’t do. I still wonder why we started with a dial instead of buttons in the first place. I don’t wonder long, though. It had to be whatever the technology of the time could manage.
When I was a small child living with my grandparents — my parents were off at the Great Lakes while my dad went through Navy training — I had to memorize their phone number. To this day, it still doesn’t make sense to me. It was “Sycamore 5‑2453.” Try dialing that into a phone today. There have been a few changes since then.
And isn’t it funny that after all these years, after all the technical leaps that led to the cell phones we carry in our back pockets, we still say we’re “dialing” a number? I’m sure plenty of young people don’t even know what that means. I’ve seen clips online where teenagers are handed an old rotary phone and look as confused as I’d be if someone handed me a crank‑and‑jar churn. I wouldn’t know its purpose, let alone how to use it.
Makes you wonder what the next fifty years will bring. I’m certain of one thing: nobody will be running down to the telegraph office. And someday, even cell phones will go the way of buggy whips.

Barn swallow taking a break to chatter at me. They are a common sight, swooping and diving around the houses & in the skies of #Catalonia.

There’s something about an owl’s stare that stops you in your tracks.
Those enormous eyes, the wild feathered tufts, and an expression that seems to say it knows exactly what you’re doing. This Eurasian eagle-owl was such a beautiful character to photograph.

Crest of Curiosity
Here’s an image for tufted titmouse (scientific name) lovers. It kind of reminds me of a little guy in a uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, watching a parade go by. I said “guy,” but honestly I have no idea — tufted titmice aren’t sexually dimorphic, so this one could just as easily be a she.
Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

Still seeing ruby-throated #hummingbirds around the house but soon they will all migrate away - going further south for the winter.
