Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

I Love these sanctuaries/  we have a similar one here at Hula, where the migrating birds rest on their way back and forth.

angelface555

Thanks, Bubble, these birds settle to fuel up in the front areas from the barley and other seeds volunteers plant for them before heading further back into the Refuge or even further North to breed.

I was intrigued by the photos of Hula's sanctuary and refuge. I Googled and found some beautiful images. I was especially intrigued by one of the little bee-eaters.

I am able to get in to post again (thanks to Bubble).  Love your photos, Patricia, and I do love the link to migrating birds in Israel.  We sit on the path for north/south migration here in central US and most of the time can see a variety in my own back yard/river.  We have some refuges to the west of Wichita but I have never visited.  So far I have not found a place to camp overnight to get those early morning or late evening photos.  I used to jump out of bed at dawn to run down by the river for breath taking colors but with nobody at the house to know if I come back, I am more cautious.  Not afraid but realize I could lay in a heap anywhere in that brush and nobody would miss me for hours or days. My kids usually call about every day but ............

I have never seen those bee-eaters... very colorful!

Junee, great photos of both Plocton, Scotland, (I loved the loch's reflections!); and the Michigan view of South Haven. Has MaryAnn seen this photo?

Bubble, thanks for posting for Junee! I also liked the shot of the Honey Buzzard. There are to my knowledge, no Alaskan buzzards.

Hi Shirley!

Mary Ann

Junee, nice pictures of South Haven and Scotland.  No, Patricia, I had not seen this shot and I don't know how many years it's been since I've been to South Haven.  It's about 100 miles south of us and Grand Haven is much closer. 

Mary Ann

FlaJean

Wonderful pictures!  In all the books I’ve read that are set in Scotland the weather is always rainy and cold, but that picture in Scotland shows another side.  Lovely photo, Junee.

Shirley

Isn't that picturesque (Scotland)?  I'm always interested in the town people, love to visit with them.  My daughter was very impressed with all of Scotland that she saw.... I've never been there.  As a matter of fact, I've never been to Michigan, either! If I remember right, Junee, you did a lot of traveling over the years. Thanks for the photos.

Hi, Patricia..... nope, guess I'll only get to see Alaska through your photos... never know, I think I'd still try if one of my kids wanted to make the trip (in their own vehicle) as well.  At this time of year I would love to go anywhere it is cool.... and not real high altitude.  Not asking for much, huh? My daughter was saying today that her areas (St.Louis) is looking like August and we are even dryer than they are. The grass going down to the river is dry & brittle, trees look the same... and it isn't even the first of summer yet!

Shirley, with relatives all over Kansas, Colorado, Northern California and Missouri; I never noticed different feelings in the mountains or hills or even on the plains.

Fairbanks is set at the junction of three rivers and two others now wind in and out of the city limits. We were initially a riverside trading post and later gold camp on the river and perch half in the valley and a half on the east and west foothills, so the altitude and temperatures vary somewhat.

Here is what Google lists and I don't know where they're estimating from, nor if it is high or low for you.
Our elevation in town proper is 446. Altho up in the hills among some of the subdivisions, its  much higher

64.8378° N, 147.7164° W

Junee, I'm of Celtic ancestry, Irish, (Shannon, Tinkler & Dale); Scottish, (Johnston); and Welsh, (Thomas & Davies); but have never been to any of those countries although I am the only one of my immediate family who hasn't been.

Excluding later generations, everyone on my maternal side that I've met or heard about had or has some type of red hair. My maternal grandfather had black hair and a red chest and beard. There were some blondes, but even those were strawberry. My paternal side did or has very dark black or dark brown hair.

Bubble, should I look out my window, at fog and rain? Or should I look at your terrific photos and wish I was there? Hmmm, such a hard decision.  :-\   ::)

so_P_bubble

Thank you! :)
So my next request is:  show us a favorite dish, a food you enjoy.

jackwv

Wonderful photos, Junee, Pat and Bubble.   Nothing to add but enjoy your photos.

so_P_bubble

Jack, do you have  a photo of fav. dish?

jackwv

Bubble, sorry but I never cook my favorite dish, possibly steak or ribs and baked potato.   No point in posting a photo of frozen dinners.   :) :)

SCFSue

Jack, I had to laugh at your reply to Bubble.  I'm not fond of frozen dinners, either, but I eat my share of them.  I did take time today to cook a beef patty, fresh asparagus, and a baked potato for my lunch.  I try to eat a larger meal at lunch time and something less around 5:30 when I'm ready to watch the evening news.

Sue I am having back pains, decided to go to local pub for a few beer and was tempted to get a photo of Chili and a beer, but passed on the Chili and now cooking a frozen dinner - no photos.

so_P_bubble

Sue, where is the photo of that feast? :)

Jack, what about a photo of the beer since it seems to be a favorite?

jackwv

Bubble did not take a photo at the pub.  Folks there get nervous when there is a camera around  :)

Just pulled a bottle out of the frig.   Craft brewing has become so popular over the past few years with many even small local firms.   I am a fan of IPA's   India Pale Ales.  I have no one favorite, like trying new ones as they come along.    This one caught my eye because of the name and is from a brewery over in Maryland.

Bubble thank you for that good article.  At the end it mentions Double and Imperial IPA'S and I often ask for them when available.  So many still drink so-called Lite Beers, but to me they are like drinking water.  With the Double and Imperial you drink slowly and 3 for me is tops.

jackwv

Still hope others will post the food photos, but I had to post this as a followup to my beer posts.   I used a app to put my sons dog on a beer can.  At the time it was just a pup and weight possibly 10 pounds.  I am also posting it now, fully grown and 180 pounds.  It is a Leonberger.

I wonder what his favorite food is... :2funny:

jackwv

Bubble, believe he is like my Goldens.  Favorite is whatever is in the bowl.  Here is one of my two former Goldens Jessie and Zoe.  Mimi now eats out of the same bowl.
