To you too. Are you doing anything special over the summer, beside letting you shoulder heal?
Timothy, I hoped I can travel to Europe. I don’t think I can make it. I used to fly overseas 3-4 times a year. My last trip was in December 2019. It’s hard to accept reality but I have to. We are planning two short trips in the US. That I can do. What about you? Any plans?
We were planning on going to Antwerp, Belgium in August to give papers at the International Conference on Construction Grammar, the was postponed last year. However, the Belgium government is only allowing 400 people to attend the conference in person, so we’ve opted to present our papers online. We presented papers online for the NeMLA conference in March, and that worked out really well. I was really looking forward to getting together with Herman who has Hands on Bowie & Jimi blog. He’s not too far from Antwerp, but with limitations on the conference in person, we didn’t think it was worth the expense, plus the dates in August conflict with Laurie’s classes. We’ll just have to go on a vacation to Belgium next year when things are more opened up.
That would have been wonderful Timothy. Antwerp is beautiful and it is always nice to meet a fellow blogger.
This is year travel is still difficult. Conferences are going well online. I was in quite a few during the last academic year, but I miss the places, the real people. You went to work. I taught, conferenced, join meetings only online since March 2020. It’s been difficult for me but it’s been more difficult for other people so I tell myself everything is ok.
It will be fun if you guys attend those conferences in person next year. I hope you have a wonderful vacation next year.

The whole point of going to conferences is to see new places, meet new people, get fresh perspectives, and enjoy a change of scenery. The ICCG is every two years. In 2018 it was in Paris in July. We’ll see where it takes us in 2023. I wish you a great time with your discoveries in the USA.
Indeed. Thank you so much Timothy. I hope you guys have a great summer.
At least for the time being it’s cooled off and we are getting a little rain. The kitties get all excited, go out in the catio, get all wet and come back in and insist on giving up wet cat snuggles.
I am glad it rained a bit and it cooled off. Oh, the kitties are adorable. I am glad they enjoyed doing that. Sending everyone purrs and treats.
Enjoy your day.
I forgot. It is fun to meet fellow bloggers. We met Tiffany and her husband when we were in San Diego for the PAMLA conference in 2019. We went to an opening of an art show she had a painting in. It was really fun.
Oh, wonderful!
Something must have been happening on the ground level. Maybe he was looking for the shark/fish?
I’m not sure what it was up to. It almost looked like it was playing because it was flying back and forth and looping around at high hawk speed. Not the slow circling and gliding they do when they are looking for prey. Thanks, Rebecca.
Thanks, Maj & Sher. It was pretty dark and it was flying fast. I was a little surprised the photos came out as clearly as they did given I had to push it a stop or two the reduce backlighting.
I might also be so not in the know that I wouldn’t recognize one if I did! Some people part of my Boucherville Photo group have shared pics so they are here. Somewhere.
wow Great pics Timothy!💖💖 you were busy clicking alright❣️
Off Center & Not Even 
Beautiful pictures 👏🤗🌹
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure. Hugs and purrs to everyone.

Very cool.
Thanks, Gigi.
Great photos of Hawk, Tim. Nice captures.

It worked well…
That’s a nice series, Tim. You have some beautiful wildlife down there.
Thanks, Lavinia.
These are amazing shots.
Thanks, Shey.
Cool shot!
Thanks, Yolanda.
Ohhhhhh….. what a majestic creature!!!! Great captures, my friend!
Thanks, Marina.
🙏👍👏
Neat shots! He must have been looking for his dinner…
He was flying very fast back and forth. More like playing and enjoying flyig fast than looking for dinner. Thanks, Nancy.
Spectacular shots, Tim. Especially considering how quick the hawk is. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks, Teagan.
I am rather jealous. I never see hawks or eagles! (Or maybe it’s just me!)
That said… great shots!
That’s sad. You might not be on their flight path. The Rio Grande is an international/interstate bird highway.
I might also be so not in the know that I wouldn’t recognize one if I did! Some people part of my Boucherville Photo group have shared pics so they are here. Somewhere.
wow Great pics Timothy!💖💖 you were busy clicking alright❣️
Thanks, Cindy.
You’re so welcome💖❣️❣️❣️
Nice photos! These birds are fun to watch. Sometimes I see them flying over fields looking for food.
Thanks, Rebecca.
One of the few birds that will eventually stop in the air so you can get a shot.
This one did not have any intention of stopping mid-air that I could tell. Thanks, Brian.
Were they flying around looking for dinner?
It’s almost prehistoric where you live….kind of neo-historic.
Keep zooming handsome Harry! Top shots 🙂
Handsome Harry! Nice. Thanks, Julie.
