Yes, my English teacher (who took her masters from Oxford and her PhD from the Sorbonne) taught me well about antecedents and therein lies the return joke.

Did she not teach you Cambridge is as unimpressed of Oxford, referred to as The Other Place, as is Harvard of Yale?

Very nice pictures, ISv.

Nothing good but snowing so hard it was hard to see.

Nice shots with the snow. I especially like the last one.

You just answered the question of why my mom was spelling challenged. She attended Yale.

I must admit I did a spell at Harvard.

Do you still aspirate the letter "r"?

Very nice pictures, ISv.

Thanks Click and Happy New Year (just in case - if I don't post something tomorrow)!
Happy New Year to everyone!

I haven't seen a Bohemian Waxwing since Feb 2017...

Lovely, Alan!

Got a variety of birds the other day on a what I think is a crabapple tree. Scrub Jay, Robin and an Orange-crowned Warbler:

Beautiful colours, Daniel!

Puffball.

Wonderful close-up.

Today I got some better portraits of an American Kestrel (thanks, R7) and an Audubon's Warbler.

Beautiful, esp. the kestrel.

! I started answering Alan's question about his trip to Turkey and posted these photos first there (deleted already).
From today, barely 4-4.5 meters from me. Young Saffron finch (two birds, I separate them by the yellow/orange patch on the forehead of the first one). All are cropped but the first photo is ~100% crop (+/- may be +). It's from the same burst as the second photo.

First one is a great close-up! Kudos, ISv.
