How could you not like Biden? I can even understand if someone disagrees with policy but Joe is a decent, honest, sincere person. He has integrity. If you don't have integrity, you should not be in charge of anything.

Begin! When I walk the dog, I carry my camera ready to go, I really see more with practice, the more you look for the birds, the more stuff you see in nature. And I miss a lot of pictures too, many not in focus. Its fun anyway, just to appreciate the nature around us. πŸ‘

We don't have a huge variety along our river but we do have egrets, great egrets and herons, ducks, moorhens. (Most of my posts) Exciting when something new shows up. Last year there was a kingfisher everyday for a month - wonderful. The beauty of birding!

Quick walk along the river in between torrential downpours. Did not expect to see much with all the rain but I met an egret, a cormorant leaving the water and a white stork. πŸ¦‰πŸͺΆ Have a great Sunday!

You'll love it. Get off the beaten track, walk around the armory area. It can be touristy by realto and san Marco but there is so much more. Search out the last guy making forcoles in his shop, cool!

Majestic. Ok maybe not majestic but it's still a pretty bird. Not as pretty as the other birds but somehow kind of nice. Fine, it's just a pigeon. 😜 πŸ¦‰

Evening walk, The heron finished dinner and he flew off to stand in the middle of the corn field near the river. They seem to prefer standing in the field where they can see any danger from far away. Curious to see where they go when the corn grows taller. πŸ¦‰

Villa Valmarana ai Nani Vicenza, It's near the Villa Rotonda. Built in 1669, about 100 years later. It's named for the 17 statues of dwarfs that were once scattered around the garden. #Italy

I worked on the control and measurements systems for a supplier when they built and started the plant. I believe 86-87. I don't remember what kind of paper they made but it was a nice place to work for a few months.

Oh my, the Alito flag story isn't going away. Seems some intrepid reporters fact checked his flippant letter and it appears he may have lied to Congress in writing lol
