Grumpy Old Man (or woman)
I confess this is from my archives as I have not been out birding for a couple of weeks. My husband is home from the hospital, yes, but there are myriad jobs we need to accomplish before we can play (YUCK!)...
Still grumpy
Get oil change for the car, purchase new cell phone, go to doctor's appointment, wait for home-care nurse to check in, be there for physio at home... it goes on and on! But my husband is HOME from hospital! That's the bright spot.
I AM smiling!!!

Keep on smiling Camera Girl.
That's the spirit! :-)
Lol, excellent post EG! Yes life can get a bit complicated but the main thing is that he's home! :-)
Brilliant news that your hubby is home.
I just love Grumpy Old Bird's demeanour... says it all.
Chin up and have a good week :D)
LOL...that last caption, I'm glad to see it 'smile'.
Just remember to breathe and take a time out now and then with your busy days.
Love the great blue heron...they always remind me of a lawn ornament when they barely move.
PS......actually we have 5 doves...the ground dove and the eurasian collared dove are also in the area, but very very scarce.
That is the good news the birds will keep flying and sitting waiting for you to capture them at their best like always. It is going to get easier. Yeah he is home. Hug B
Good that he is home.
A splendid bird!
he really does look very grumpy. maybe the fish were not biting.. LOL and you do have a lot to do, but that has to be better than visits to the hospital. so glad he is home with you...
Keep smiling, things could be a lot worse. The birds will still be there when you are ready to go back to watching them.
I love thr blue heron. He or she is still a beautiful bird despite its age.
i am SO glad - for both of you!
and i love when the herons or egrets look so curmudgeonly. :)
hang in there! it'll all get done!
I'm sure that the fact to be home will help your hubby to get better and better.
Yur grumpy bird is funny and yet beautiful in its own way !
I am smiling at your fantastic bird shots. And I am so glad for both of you that your husband is home. Hope his full recovery is speedy! (I think being at home helps)
Glad to hear that your hubby is home.
Great views of the Heron.
Yup, he definitely looks grumpy, but what a beautiful bird! And once again, let me just say how happy I am that your husband is home from the hospital. xo.
I'm so glad he's home. You take it easy, too.
Hubby goes in for a procedure TH, and a new treatment plan, maybe an operation. It's terribly stressful, isn't it?

He does look grumpy, doesn't he? lol! Nice shots! Great news that your hubby is home!
I am so glad your husband is home and yes now the work begins. BUT he is home!!!! YAY for both of you.
The old Heron does look a bit grumpy and ruffled. MB
Notice when the heron lifted it's head it's no longer grumpy looking? Great photos. I'm so happy for you and your husband. Blessings.
Yay! Happy to hear your hubby is home with you finally. Before you know it y'all will be birding and having fun again. LOVE your images of the GBH. That is one handsome bird.
Marvellous shots of grumpy!
Great Grumpy! I am smiling right along with you about the hubby being home. Lots of work but he's come so far.

Even the bird looks like it has been run off its feet! Organizing all those home care things takes so much energy so I wish you luck.
Great photos. Hang in there. Things could always be worse. Just take on one thing at a time. Struggling with Blogger problems these last two days and trying to catch up.
Yes, he looks grumpy. I'm so happy your hubby is home again.
Lovely heron shots! Despite all the inconveniences, I'll bet you're glad to have your hubby home.
I'm so glad your husband is home again. That's the great news. With luck and persistence, surely you will both be out playing again soon.
Great pics of the bird (heron?) He does look a bit grumpy with his feathers sticking out.
And they say that birds don't have any emotions. I think you just proved them wrong ... especially with that little bit of a smile at the end. It is as if he knew you were smiling because your husband was finally home. Best to you both ... soon things will be back to normal.

That Great Blue Heron might not be grumpy. It might just be hungry. Happy to hear your husband is home recovering. Work at your tasks list slowly and all with get done. Hang in there.
It is so nice for you and your hubby now he is home from the hospital..Birding would be much more fun than some other jobs you need to do..Have a happy week!
love your grumpy ol`. And happy your husband is home. That is how life is. Sometimes we get busy. :) Birds will still be there when it calms down.
yes; is certainly looking out of sorts
These guys always look grumpy! Great shot. I don't know what happened to your Hubby (I looked through your archive titles but didn't find anything) but I will be praying for you all.
Glad he is on the mend. Whistle while you work, Dear! The birds do

He does look a little grumpy.
These are some of your best bird shots! Quite fantastic.
Sometimes it seems the little things never end, but you can handle them when the big things fall into place!
The perfect title!
Glad to hear your husband is home.
Thanks for sharing these pics.
Some need their feathers fluffed.
so happy for you and your husband with him being home.
no matter when you took these photos, they are wonderful.
may all your chores go with grace so that you can play and play.
HI EG I am so pleased that your hubby is home even though it is is a lot of work for you. It will get better. Now these shots of Grumpy are fabulous. Keep smiling.
Hello EG; Oh, how great to hear that your husband can be home with you♡♡♡
I could easily guess that it means heavy loads on your shoulders as well but I hope you can enjoy your time with him.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

Too cute! He/she DOES look grumpy! :-)
This is a very funny series to accompany your good news that your husband is back home. Yes, you will still have lots to do, but things are starting to turn up. Good luck to both of you.
I'm so glad your husband is at home! Your archived pictures will serve us well while you get him settled.
What a fabulous bird and what fabulous shots of him ! Glad to hear the good news and you can stop hanging out in hospitals.
He does look like an old grouch. But beautiful nonetheless! I know your glad to have your guy at home after such a long hospital stay!
I don't know if it's a male or female, but it sure is grouchy looking... Nice photos also!
Definitely a crochety bird! Glad your hubby is home.
=)
I think Big Blue has that same expression no matter where he lives! Nice series.
We wish you and your husband all the best.
And how wonderful that he is home...I am so glad for you.
