Don't Get Your Expectations Up

My kind of luck .....

A day that was supposed to begin with a spectacular "ring of fire" annular solar eclipse, there was too much cloud cover and all that was witnessed was a hazy sun and some weird lighting for five minutes. I should have expected nothing more for an autumn day in western Oregon. 

Maybe it's just the senior citizen in me but I am still dealing with inflationary sticker shock. Too many items on the shelves of grocery stores where in the past I wouldn't have thought twice about purchasing but now I refuse to pay the asking price. Am I the only one? Am I in the minority that doesn't matter? Does it matter in the grand scheme of what is decided to be produced?

It wasn't my intent here to sound too negative. There was a dozen or so herons, unaffected by clouds or eclipses, feasting in the field today. Or perhaps engaged in the dance of the herons ...... I managed to get a photo.
