ADay.org Did You Post Anything?

Lichen on the deck. Not super happy with this shot, but the lichen, for scale, is about 1/8th of an inch across on the red tips.

 Baby robin's, there are 3 in there. Only one opened his little mouth when I came near. They were a day or two old at most I think in this shot.
Unfortunately, a few days later, empty nest. Probably a predator of some kind. Such is nature's way I suppose, sad as it is.

 Not sure why, but hanging the laundry out, the perspective view of it caught my eye as possibly interesting. I'm rather pleased with this one, and look forward to doing it with only blue jeans on the line some day....

 The pasture people, in, well.... the pasture. That's Mandy on the left, and Buttermilk (we call her Butterbutt lol) on the right. The others were out of shot, so they miss out today.

Asparagus tip, dinner is served! The patch is overgrown with grass, but we've had some good feasts off it already this year.Taste's best when fresh harvested.

Orange You Glad to See Me??

 And here's a couple of pics of the beautiful male baltimore oriole.

You Gotta Walk the Walk...Talk the Talk...

 Hey there! White crowned sparrow, ready for my close up and cat walk!!!  Here I go, the cutest and most personable tweep on the block!

Oh man.... what the &^$% did I just step in.... ewwwww

who did that.... seriously dudes.....

I mean it... who did that!!! Who left that mess over there??!!

Was it you??? You??? I see you.... get over here!

I mean it...come on back here and clean that up!!! I'm coming for you!!! That was so.... rude dude!!!



(hehehe.... seriously, the series didn't start out telling a story, and I deleted a bunch that were all the same. Turned out to have a set of 6 just adorable pics, that...well, seemed to talk... .hehehehe )

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose....

Another one of my favorite Tweeps (tweeter peeps). The Rose breasted grosbeak is back, with his lady too. She's much more drab than he, and I do have pics, just not up here yet.
My Mr Rose tho, not too shy at all. He sat, posing, nibbling on sunflower seeds and sitting pretty for me, by the orange slice that is out for the orioles.
And no, he didn't pick on the orange, only his chosen seeds.
Check out, right by his beak and feathers by his eye, looks like tiny eye lashes that flow downwards over his beak. Very cool. Hope you love him too!

Seeing Orange

Two shots of the female Baltimore Oriole coming to the feeders. The sliced orange turned out to be a hit, with both her and the male picking at them. I've sliced them sideways again, as there is still more orange in the unreachable zones. The male and female both spend time on the peanut feeders too, but prefer the orange slices. I love the colour! So bright!
(both shots are taken thru a window. I know, not the best, but these birds are a bit shy, so I have to get what I can, when I can. :) )

High Wire Act?

I was watching this wasp, just seconds before, walk along the bottom of the clothes line. Tried to catch him/her, but missed it as it shifted to the top of the wire instead.
However, I still think this is a cool shot. A peekaboo of sorts....hehehehehe

An Early Sunset One Day

Caught this on our evening walk one night. The sun is setting on the far side of that willow tree. I liked the way the yellow branches lit up. It's not quite what I saw in my eyes, but hey...it never is.....

Like a Tiger She Walks....

Say hello to little Jinx. She's a compact little tuxedo cat, who thinks if she walks slowly, the birdies won't see her coming! lol.
Moments after taking this she was sitting in the deck top feeder, looking suprised there were no birds for her to grab....sigh...ha ha ha Pretty cat...

Marsh Marigolds

So, they are up in the back yard wetland pond just behind the house here. My dad brought them from up the road and put them in a few years back. Each year I check them out til they bloom. This day was one of those bright gorgeous days in the last few. Some warmth and sunshine, and everything jumped up a few inches!
Enjoy, many more spring things to come :)
