Another day in sunny Sarasota. It’s really warmed up down here. It feels good. Last two days were all spent birding. right now I’m in Pine craft watching the shuffle board Games. Here here’s a picture I got yesterday at the celery fields I got a lot more than that one But I won’t bore you all...

Looks like another night at the Ritz Carlton (Walmart). There is a pair of yellow headed blackbirds in our area. They are generally western bird but some of them must’ve strayed. I only got pictures of the female and not the best pictures but I am putting two in here. One is a picture of her...

By change do you mean am I leaving Sarasota area yet? That answer is no not until 1 March because I didn’t budget my money properly and I’m going to be very very tight for the next two weeks. Might be good for me I might find a lose some weight. So I’m sticking close to Pine craft and my Amish...

Someone suggested I put this picture (see post 66) in a section called “seen on the road”. I went and looked and that vehicle was photographed in 2018 in Minnesota and also last year in Fort Myers Florida only about 100 miles south of me now. So they do get around I’d love to talk to them. Maybe...

I saw this rig at a Cracker Barrel parking lot today. I didn’t get to talk to the people. It is my policy not to knock on doors but if somebody’s out and about I’ll approach and have a conversation. If this was the builder in the rig today it would’ve been an interesting conversation.

I bird a day keeps the moderators away.🥸 Here’s a little palm warbler a shot today.

Hello again fellow nomads. I’m not real computer savvy. I’m old enough to think that they should stop changing it so I don’t have to keep up with it. But I need someone, if you’re out there, who understands google groups. Please PM me if you’d like to spend a few minutes working with me on this...

Thanks Jdub and Rav&x. Here’s a bird that I’ve wanted to shoot for many years. I got one last year but I got a better picture this year. The male painted bunting.

JDub- that’s a good question. But one of the best things about being a nomad is that you can make your own schedule and change it whenever you want. I have not been wise with money in the last few days I’ve got to stop spending so much and I’m going to evaluate that and the fact that some guests...

They Really need the rain down here. The rivers and creeks are low and the grass is brown in some places. So I’m not complaining too much about the rain it just makes it damp when it’s cold and the two together aren’t fun for van dwellers. I did buy a little buddy but it makes so much...

Another cracker barrel night last night. And of course I am forced to eat at Cracker Barrel when I stay there because it’s the right thing to do. :) :) If you have a try to get in try their new cheesecake French toast which is immersed in wonderful strawberry syrup. Take two people on order one...

Hello 2TU808. Yes I’m in Florida I’m south of you in Pine craft which is a little division of the city of Sarasota. I’ve been around taking nature pictures mainly birds for the last few weeks and I plan to be here through May so I can see the spring wildflowers then it’s back up north where...

It’s probably wishful thinking. As a young man girls and women were all I could think about; now as an old man alI I can do is think about them. (If you didn’t notice the difference in the wording there look again) I could’ve sworn somebody said something about freezing their Nuggies off. I...

I am lonely the last activity on this thread was Thursday and now it’s Sunday. How is everybody? I am still in Florida last night was a Walmart night. And I had a very lazy morning because it’s totally cloudy outside although it’s close to 60°. But not a good time for nature pictures I need a...

I’ve heard very little news of any sickness in Pine craft. If people are getting sick no one’s talking about it. Many That I have met are like me and had it last year. It’s not even a real topic of discussion among our people much and there’s only one lady i’ve seen wearing a mask. Answer is I...

Of course when spending the night at Cracker Barrel I try to be supportive of them. It’s hard to do but I just had a baked sweet potato with honey and butter and pecans. I had to endure just to support them. but seriously if I’m staying in a Walmart lot or a Cracker Barrel lot or anybody else’s...

Maisley - I agree that New Jersey has some beautiful areas to paint pine barons are beautiful some of the seashore areas are nice but I guess I was referring to Northern New Jersey which is just a subdivision of New York. I have a very good friend a couple actually that lived in Collingswood for...

I love Spam and I look like it. I like the convenience of the foil packet one slice. I can make two nice meals out of that one packet. When I used to be able to hike carrying a foil packet in the backpack was great. I think in moderation it’s not bad. But then I’m fat so who knows. I do know...

You don’t have to be crazy to be a nomad, but it helps. “ crazy“ might be the word other use. I prefer eccentric, independent, freethinker, someone who doesn’t want to be in a box and enjoys thinking outside the box. We may not be crazy but we do like to walk to the beat of a different drummer.

Contrary to popular believe the famous and original Punxsutawney Phil Did not die. It was a rodent from New Jersey that died and if I lived in New Jersey I’d probably die too. now for my reaction to HOWAS drawling. I was supposed to win!! what the heck happened?💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 I claim a foul...
