Friday Face Off ...




A young branchling Great Horned Owl
Wide eyed and bushy tailed, as they say ... he was adorable, but don't be fooled by his cuteness :)

He was found on the ground under a tree.  We wrapped him in a towel and brought him back to the center.  Our vet examined him and determined what we needed to do so he could heal and we could release him.  He was put under the care of another surrogate Great Horned Owl female who was a permantent resident with us.  We did finally get to release him to the wild.  Sad to see him go, but happy that he recovered and could live his life as he was meant to.

Sunday in the Art Room 

Just a collection of photos and some art from my past ... and as you might note ... I have a very Loooooong past :)  So here goes for today😍 

Some of you probably remember "Da Boyz".  They were brothers born in my FH's office closet to an awesome rescue cat (see below)that we brought in without knowing she was pregnant.  They provided years of entertainment in our household .  And I have many, many pictures that I will probably share over time.


Mom

Fonzi and Chachi 







Chachi with Diva (who has her own storyline) ...






Other of life's characters :) 



We raised Barn Owls from eggs at the Raptor Rescue ... These are several of our babies with their surrogate mother.

So, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it 😁Have a great week, everyone.  I am starting work on Nicole's Challenge ... wish me luck :)

 Turkey was everyone's favorite.  He was fun, playful and easy to work with.  They are social amung themselves and when there are no other Turkey Vultures to socialize with ... they socialize with their handlers.





As and education bird he wowed everyone, especially the kids ... 


His favorite game ... Tug of War :)

Never a dull moment :)

Eye Candy 


The sad part of this story is that my daughter is bedridden and lives in a nursing home.  Sooooo ...her roommate and I print or draw pictures for her wall to help cheer her up.  One of our catagories is called "Eye Candy" ... I know I don't need to explain what that means.  And yes, I do my share of drooling as well.  You are never too old to appreciate a good looking man😁

So this is Mark Lattieri a guitar player and a composer.  If you want to know more you will find him on You-Tube.  My FH and I enjoy all kinds of music and we  find all kinds of music on You Tube.  We have found several bands that we enjoy and Mark has his own group as well as plays in several other groups. 





  

Sorry Girls ... I won't post Eye Candy every week, so enjoy while you can 🤣
