Hooded Oriole

My first capture of the year of this pretty bird.  I forgot how small they are;  much smaller than a curve-billed thrasher or cardinal.  It's also the first time I've used my little computer as a test run.  I thought I install PSE but couldn't figure out how to do it online.  I can't use my installation disk.  So I was stuck using PS Express. After I post it, I'll check the quality on a different device.  Gallery view

 A more than usual active day for me, but that's not saying much.  My investment banker came over to present some different options.  The branch is closed and it wasn't something we could do over the phone.Then I had a tele-therapy appointment.  I've been having sessions twice a week to help me deal with bipolar depression, which is different than "regular" depression.  Most people don't know that.
 
 NowI'm off to Sprouts to purchase the food I'm taking with me tomorrow.  Hopefully, they'll have what I want.  I'll start packing and loading clothes and equipment, too.  That way I'm not wasting time tomorrow. Just stop for ice, load the food and go.  I need to do a few things around the house.  There's nothing worse than coming home to a mess.
