I think the 1st 3 words are, "Hello Brit Smoothie," and it seems to be written in British English (as opposed to our American butchery of language) so I'm guessing it is addressed to out English friend whom started the topic.

FORGIVE ME. I HAVE TEOUBLE WITH CLEVERLY HIDDEN CLUES
I'M HAVING A STUPID CONTEST WITH MYSELF AND SO FAR IT'S A TIE
HESUS!

Nothing to forgive. I feel like I've been missing the obvious a lot lately myself. And I know you have serious vision issues.

One thing about impaired vision, It improves television.

I find turning the sound off improves television. But then, I really haven't watched any in months.

I had an older relative that was one of the only ones of my dad's family to come from Sicily and not learn english. She really never did much outside the home. But she would watch "the stories," as they called it, on t.v.
Someone asked her once about not knowing what they were saying and she replied that she made up the story and dialogue for herself based on what she saw. I always thought she probably wound up with a better show than what was written.

But, we digress...

Brits' I just noticed one of your pictures, from June, looks like a jack rabbit.

I just got him out of the river, but I'm sure he wasn't sure of my intentions. Some more that I didn't shoot.

I have followed the great shots from our British friend. Great pictures. I live on a golf course loaded with ducks and birds. The American Widgeon is a regular on the pond I watch from my home office.

As you can see this breeding male Widgeon is much smaller than the common Mallard that live here in Pahrump year round.

We also get wildlife coming over from Las Vegas. We have near perfect conditions for ballooning 350 mornings a year. They come up about 7am and sometimes go right over our home. View attachment 20799 View attachment 20799 View attachment 20800 View attachment 20799 View attachment 20800

This Wood Duck must have gotten lost. They say they should not be here. It was absolutely beautiful.

Snow geese pass through here in the Spring.

Canadians are here any time of year keeping the golfers in line.

When they are not making babies.

Other year round residents are the Great Blue Heron and Cormorants.

Have a Wonderful Christmas.

At Bell got me thru many a graveyard shift talking about wildlife from Pahrump, NV. Unfortunately we lost Mr. Bell last year. I will never forget Midnight in the Oasis. R.I.P.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and may the new year being you many good days of smoke and communion with family and friends.
