I was determined to get out for a drive on 22 February 2024. It had been three weeks since my last drive, having spent so much of my time dealing with sorting out a hacked credit card and then waiting about nine days without a TV (died suddenly after about 15 years of good service) and waiting for a new one to be delivered and set up. All seems to be OK now, thank goodness, and it feels great. I do still need to have someone come and see exactly why I have no audio on my computer (for the last few months). It suddenly stopped after I installed Norton's Driver Updater - has happened to other people as well.
The weather on this drive was rather overcast, as you can guess by the distant background, so the light was a challenge, but easier on the eyes than harsh sun glare. The first sighting, once I had reached the start of the SE area, was a herd of Elk. Distant, and I did stop and zoom in to check if they were cattle or deer. A nice surprise when I saw that they were Elk, as I haven't seen Elk for ages. I didn't count how many males there were, but perhaps three or so. Will post a bit of video in the next day or two.
Not much to see the rest of the drive, but it felt so relaxing. There were quite a few Horned Larks, but they are so fast and not easy to photograph. Eventually, one did land on some ice along a roadside, giving me just the one shot.
This time, I drove one different road that I don't think I have ever driven before. No birds to be seen, but I was happy with one farmyard scene.
