Anticipation of my demise  by samae

Anticipation of my demise

Today I went to my mom’s house In Missouri to tidy her very overgrown and neglected flower beds. I began at 10 a.m. Not as early as I had planned. It’s an hour and a half drive. I worked until 2 pm. It was extremely hot , 105*F heat index and no wind.
Yes, yes, I know very dumb, but it needed doing.
And it is my honor to honor my mom.

I think these guys were Just waiting ....


Many thanks for comments on my “splash of color” photo yesterday and placing it on pp.


Thanks for stopping by as always.
Oh my what a neat find..........105F I wouldn't be able to work!

Wow! That's a little creepy, Sarah. Still a great capture! Stay hydrated!

They remind me of the “Jungle Book” vultures!

I admire your dedication. 105 is just plain ugly. I do really like this, don't think that they are waiting just being...conserving their energy. Stay safe and hydrated.

What a good daughter you are. Your mom is blessed to have you. Yes that is HOT!! Hope you have recovered!

Ha! Like your title; well spotted.

Love your title - that's always what they bring to mind with me, too. We weren't quite as bad today - had a shower last night and some clouds on and off today. Hope it's your turn next.

Yikes!

Beautiful shot.
July 23rd, 2020  
LOL! What a great title - and I don't even know what type of birds they are!

I just read your tags - they really are vultures - just looking at you - oh wow!
July 23rd, 2020  
wow look at them!

And if you had passed out what would that do for your mother, In my caregivers group we always say you have to take care of yourself first so you can keep being there for others. So please take care.

Great find and capture.

Neat find and capture

Great capture. Like the beginning of some mysterious story. Please slow down sometimes. Not only will you not help your mother, but you will also cause trouble for the rest of the family.

that is just too hot for gardening, and quite a tree full of vultures in waiting, must have felt quite eerie.

Great title and you are amazing! 105! I’d be dead and turkey vultures could have a feed
