Learning something new!

I've read a lot about how people are taking advantage of the time they have at home to learn something new. I don't know if I've focused on that. 

But I can say, I did NOT focus on this hummingbird except for the one photo above.

I am still learning my new camera (Canon SX70 HS)and my setting was on flower (for close ups) when I took most of these. I should have changed it to mountain to zoom in from across the street. 

Look at this beautiful flowering bushes that attract the hummers and butterflies!

I am standing at my house, taking pics of the hummingbird across the street.

Don't worry, my neighbor was aware of what I was doing! hahaha!

When I changed the setting, I only got ONE more photo and he was 'away'! It's the 'in focus' photo at the beginning.

And doesn't everyone take photos of their shoe boxes? That's what I had just taken photos of in the lanai. We are in a cleaning out, throwing away, recycling and donating mood at our house right now and I was going to get rid of a shoebox. (I know! I should do better than that! hahaha)

I wear Montrails to hike in and I still wear my oldest pair when it is wet or muddy. They are the BEST shoes in the world for hiking here in Florida. 

And I got a kick out of what was written on the side of the box.

It says, Raise your right foot and repeat after me, 

"I, Diane give my word as a morally righteous Montrail consumer to always play fair with others in the great outdoors and to recycle or reuse this box."

Oh, and I guess now you'll want to see my oldest hiking shoes! 

I have a lot to be thankful for this week! How about you?

Are you blogging about something more interesting than old shoes and recycles? 

I certainly HOPE SO!!!

Updated...I wrote this post yesterday and I am so saddened to see the damage from Hurricane Laura this morning. I hope and pray everyone in it's path is safe. I have lots of family and friends in the area it is traveling so I'm watching it closely. Take care and stay safe!
