Old friends, an ex-car and a bluejay

Just this weekend I was going through my photo albums so that I could share some pics with 2 old friends who stopped by for a visit.

This is not one of the photos I was looking for, just a sad reminder of when my favorite car ever, a Toyota Corolla SR5 with the flippy headlights AND a sunroof, was stolen from in front of my house and "recovered" in Camden.

The police called me on Easter weekend and told me to come "pick up" my car, and to be sure to have my registration and insurance cards (both had been in the glove compartment) and my driver's license.

Not sure how I was supposed to pick it up... :(

After a year and a half of waiting, I finally received my Bird Buddy bird feeder. This was a Kickstarter project that I supported—a bird feeder that takes a photo and identifies the birds.

I am having a minor problem so far—only the bluejay sticks around long enough to pose. The chickadees flit in and out of the frame. I have about 10 photos of the same bluejay. Hoping that will change as more birds become aware of the new feeder.

Finally, I am waiting for those old friends to post some photos they took while they were here. I will share in a later post.
