Beginning to #$%^#@# hate windows 10, what used to be straight forward is an ordeal.

Mines been ok apart from yesterday when everything slowed down and stopped occasionally,couldn't even get Task master up,finally managed to shut it down and after a restart it was ok.

Just a quick thought. How is your ISP speed? I have a slow connection and the automatic updates that WIN10 do really mess things up while downloading. I have changed my internet settings to "Metered". With that setting, WIN10 doesn't download the updates. Every once in a while I will turn the "Metered" setting off for the downloads to happen (when I am not doing anything else with the computer). That is the best work-around that I have found for using WIN10 in a slow connection.

i never noticed the grasshopper until PP @ about 1 o'clock on the flower, munching away at the leaf.

I like this one. The colors and detail are great. Bee, grasshopper, and flower. Great combo.

the spider always sits in this position, still waiting on it turning around the other way, I pass it 3 times everyday.

I think the bird is a black and white warbler? @wev

 

[Roy1961]

a western scrub jay flew by me into the bushes, it buried the nut in the leaves, posed for a minute then hopped into the bushes.

I think it is a black-throat gray. There is too much color change in the black head and blue-gray back. The B & W is just that; the real tell is a dash of yellow over the eye in the black-throat, but this one was playing shy.

 

[Roy1961]

I couldn't see the yellow flash either that's why I thought it was the black and white, it didn't sit to long, as soon as I focused it was moving again, only the second time I saw this, need to be faster next time. lol

Finally caught up on your thread Roy. Between you, wev and birds, it was tough catching up on all my subscribed threads. Good job!
