Three egrets fly home in formation. Home to roost before another day of foraging.
The first dry, windless day for weeks. Couple that with it being a Sunday, and by mid-afternoon the hum of lawn mowers could be heard around the neighborhood.
I was adding to the noise by getting wet and dirty with a power washer, removing grime accumulated through the wet weather.
My wife and I have been watching Shrinking on Apple TV+, and thoroughly enjoying it. Funny, well written, and a good cast. Recommended. 🍿
🌞 The first morning waking up to sun for a long time. Much gratitude.

Day 5: Tile, suggested by @thedimpause
After our recent visits to Portugal, I feel spoiled for choice for tiles to share today. These were taken in Porto.

Day 4: Zip, suggested by @Miraz
This car, sitting in front of our hotel in Florence, Italy last year, looked as though it had some zip to it.

♨️ We just put a heater on. It's cold this evening, in our corner of Maui.

Spinning wheels today…that’s what it feels like right now. The day started off well, but the wheels got progressively bogged down in the mud as the day has gone on, at least that is how it feels from where I sit right now. Maybe I am too hard on myself and need to take a break, and do something different when the results aren’t coming?

Day 3: Solitude, suggested by @circustiger
At dusk on a cold evening, a lone fisherman sits waiting on the beach in Comporta, Portugal.
☔ I haven’t seen so much rain here. Since I landed back on island a week ago, there has been rain with short breaks, and a lot of wind. I just drove home with wipers doing double speed, and rivers forming alongside the road.

Day 2: Weather, suggested by @pcora
We’ve been having terrible weather of late. Continual wind and rain, with the occasional glimpse of sun. Cold as well.
🌧️ It’s pouring out there. “Out there,” is outside of my truck. I have come to off load the recycling, but it is raining so much that for now I am not venturing out.

February 2023 newsletter letter
February 2023 Welcome to my February 2023 newsletter. This month has been dominated for me by travel to Europe. A solo journey made up of two parts. First I stopped for a week in England to visit my mother. From there I travelled down to Portugal for two weeks. Nothing specific was planned for the England leg of the trip. I simply spent some quality time with my mother, did some odd jobs for her around her apartment, and allowed myself to rest and get over jet lag which I find can hit me pretty hard when I travel east to Europe.
