More rain

The rain started again yesterday afternoon and has continued with only a few breaks until now.  It doesn’t look like it’s going to let up until the weekend.  Ugh!  There is even the possibility of snow showers tonight and tomorrow.  Pam and Stan left in the rain.  I hope they had a safe journey down to the Grand Tetons.

During a break in the showers, this afternoon, I was able to get a few shots of the birdlife around the campground.  Several Lazuli buntings have returned to the feeders.

 IMG_1494As Emma and I walked around, we came across this poor bedraggled black-capped chickadee.  He was just soaking wet!  Makes me appreciate having my  portable shelter a little more.  :)

I received a comment from The Bayfield Bunch this morning saying he was having trouble with the comment button on my blog.  Is anyone else having trouble posting a comment?  He also said that sometimes my pictures overlap on top of the text.  That overlap doesn’t show up on my computer, nor on my sister’s.  Does anyone have any ideas about that?
IMG_1507During our brief respite from the rain this afternoon, Emma took advantage of the little bit of sun to bask.  She is, however, always on duty keeping track of those tantalizing ground squirrels.  :)  If she ever caught one, I’m not sure she’d know what to do with it.

It’s been a pretty lazy day for me today.  I did finally catch up on all the blogs I follow this morning.  I haven’t had much time for that the last two weeks or so.  I think I’ll be heading into Rexburg tomorrow to pick up some bird seed.  I’m just about out.  Wouldn’t it be nice if this storm front rushed through and didn’t last three days?

Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later,  Judy

  2. Your post came through perfect tonight Judy & none of the text was covered by photos. My mouse cursor also locked right into this comment box on the first click so whatever glitch was going on wherever seems to have corrected itself:)) D'ya suppose you could send a few Lazuli's this way. We are really short of bird's right now..............

  3. Yes, Judy, I have been having the same troubles Al describes--trouble posting a comment although I eventually get it done and yes, your pictures do overlap the text sometimes. Computers--don't you just love them??

    Emma is just precious!! So pretty with the sun shining on her coat.

  7. I think its a combination of what server each person is using, what size monitor screen and what type of response program they are using for the comment box (as a logged in Google person or a logged in Blogger person or some of the other options. You can't be expected to have a format that makes everyone happy. I never see overlaps on your photos or texts when using Google Chrome, but I did when I used Firefox. So go figger, eh?

  8. Oh I think sometimes the spacing on the screen for the person reading your blog is particular to their server, their screen size, their client used to view it (i.e. Firefox, Explorer, Safari, etc. ) I use Google Chrome and it looks great for me.

    There is trouble posting to some blogs lately that I think is a Blogger problem they are working on. I copy each comment I type first, and if my comment don't *work* the first time, I just hit "paste" and try it again. It's not just your blog, it's a bunch of em.
