Rain Frances Creations, TADD ... Eggs

 EGGS

A pipping Barn Owl ...

We raised Barn Owls from eggs at the Rehab Facility while participating in a Research Project involving diminishing numbers in the area.

Hand fed while wearing Owl costumes

Then raised by surrogate parents

Put in the flight cage to gain strength and to learn to hunt live prey and finally released to the wild with telemetry so they could be tracked for as long as the telemetry lasted.

That's it for today ... Tomorrow is the first day of March, a month of interesting weather and my birthday Month.  Hope it brings all of you some joy ...

Rain Frances Creations ... TADD Ladders

 Ladders 

Winter 

Summer

A big project ...

My son bought a boat in New York, drove it back to Illinois, rebuilt the engines, refinished the inside and gel coated the exterior.  Then his boat was awesome, just as he wanted it :) 

  Ice sculptures in Wisconsin ...

We spent a lot of time on ladders when we were volunteering for Raptor Rehab ... each time an adventure, each time rewarding, especially when we were able to release our rescues back to the wild.  

Rains prompts are getting more difficult as time passes.  I assume that is because it becomes harder and harder to think up new prompts when you have been doing it for so long ... we really appreciate you, Rain.  Thank you for all that you do :)

Rain Frances Creations ... Lips

 Lips 

I am picking pictures of art that rely on lips to complete them.  Some is my art and some is pictures of art I have taken.  This first group is of sculptures in our Arboretum over the last year.

The following are art pieces I have done over the years of blogging.

The son of one of my Home Health Patients ... dressed for Halloween :)

Last but not least, a picture taken on my trip to Thailand ... I believe he is licking his chops 😱

All for now ... hope you all got a big smooch on Valentines Day or some good chocolates if that is what you prefer ...

or maybe both 😁
