I was working in the gallery yesterday. Beautiful day though there was not much traffic. Today I went to the Barn and Ranch Sale, I found a hat to replace the one I had that got smashed.
Received and e-mail from the solar company, I should receive my part on Wednesday. Depending on the time they deliver it I may be able to install it. Otherwise it will have to wait until Friday, as I will be at the gallery on Thursday.
I was contacted by a friend to assist her in finding a painting for her new office. I will be going out to see what I may find for her.
Still going through my SD cards, here are some more photographs.

This past week I have spent numerous hours waiting for deliveries that were scheduled, cancelled and rescheduled. First was a delivery from Amazon that took three attempts before they finally got it to me. First they said there was a dog on the property, there isn’t. I do not know the reason they didn’t make the second one. The package was marked that they needed a signature for some reason, so that cancelled the third attempt. The fourth time they delivered it, did not ask for a signature, did not knock on the door, just left the package. Great job by Amazon, not.
At the same time I was scheduled to receive my new solar batteries on Thursday, cancelled and changed to Friday, cancelled and changed to Monday. Monday I am waiting for my delivery to come between, 12 and 4. At 4 I called and am told they will be there around 6. At 6, as I am calling, I look out the window and see the truck going to my neighbor’s house, I hang up and run down the driveway to direct him to my house. He unloads two pallet with 2000lbs of batteries. I then have to secure them in a locked shed, they are very heavy. I will have to go back and remove the old batteries and replace them with the new ones. I am not looking forward to shifting 4000lbs of batteries.
The picture today I have re-edited a picture from 2018. A pair of Curved-billed Thrashers are protecting their nest from a Bull Snake. They would take turns harassing it and would jump out of the way when it would attempt to strike them. They were finally able to chase it away.
Went out to the Spit before the rain. Spotted Eagles, Seagulls and Crows headed to to the beach. I followed them and found they had found something to eat. I have no idea what they found, these are a few of the pictures I captured.
