Paint Party Friday



Domestic Terror
I should clarify here that it is only the Senate Republicans who are in control and are guilty of this!  Democrats Stand Strong ... Shut Them Down!

Sunday Sketches



Father's Day
I don't, as a rule, use somebody else's art to illustrate a point, but when I came across the artist Psithyrus, he said everything I wanted to say better than I could have hoped for.  Having a Father in your life is so important in every way.  If you are lucky enough to have a really wonderful Father your life will reflect all that he has shared with you and you will be able to pass it on to your own children.  I was blessed with such a father and miss him every day, but still live by what he taught me about life.  Maybe that is why I find it so hard to accept what has happened in my country ... the loss of values, the disrespect, the lies and lack of compassion.  It wasn't like that when I grew up and still shouldn't be like that now.  The fathers in today's world should take a stand and teach their children about truth, fairness, acceptance and compassion ... that is their job along with the Mothers at their side.  It is up to them what kind of life their children will inherit ... I pray they find their way and make things right again.

Wild Bird Wednesday


The Mallard and the Ground Hog ...
 Hey ... don't you know you are eating my Duck food?


 Who cares?  It's food, isn't it?

 Forget it, he isn't going to move ...

I'll leave when I am done and not before ...
How Rude ...

Wild Bird Wednesday


Broad Wing Hawk
This is a new bird at  Wings and Talons.  His home is at the Springbrook Nature Center which is where I learned how to handle and rehab raptors many years ago.  They are now housing some of our birds and I am once again going each Wednesday to take care of and enjoy the birds that are there.  


He is a young bird and just beginning to step up to the glove.  He seems quite comfortable around people which will make him an excellent education bird.  

I am still using my cell phone for pictures so I am resorting to whatever I can get for WBW ... Hopefully that will be resolved soon. :(

This is Chachi ... he is a big boy and a lover all the way.  He knows more about running a country than our President ... just a thought :)
