This one was a disaster, since the video cut out because I was in the woods (and I couldn’t see the screen). After my walk, I drove to another spot, but there was a dude in a truck sitting there, and it seemed awfully idiotic to jump out with a selfie stick to yell to myself on the interwebs. So I just came home and chalked Day 99 up to, “I did it, but not well.” Sometimes, that’s just life.
Also, instead of being annoyed with myself, I am choosing to focus on the fact that I got a pretty good shot of a pair of birds that I couldn’t identify–a weird thing about being an immigrant is having to learn all the fauna and flora again–but my friends on the Internet immediately provided the answer, so herewith… I give you… the Common Merganser…
I forgot my joke:
Knock, knock?
Who’s there?
Marmite.
Marmite who?
Ma might but Pa won’t.
