Wild Bird Wednesday

The Chickadee dee dees ...

I am not going to apologize for the crappiness of these pictures.  I am trying to tell a story here and this little group was most uncooperative. Flying, flitting, hopping, twittering and tweeting among the leaves of my trees and any time I got close enough to be able to focus manually, the whole group would zip around the corner of the house, out of sight, but not out of mind.  It took me several days to get these and I decided to just go with it.

There are two parents and three babies.  In most pictures you can tell them apart because the babies still have blood (pin) feathers around their head and neck and my favorite part is that their feet are too big for their little bodies (the babies are about the size of a fat hummingbird :).  

This story is a little personal since these babies were raised right near my front door.  I tried taking pictures once, but Mom and Dad just sat in a bush nearby and scolded me. Rather than spook them, I have been walking big circles around this little house for weeks ... so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see them in my tree by my feeders.  That's my WBW ...  now, Happy WBW  to all of you, as well.

NF Inspiring Photography ... Catching the Light

It would be fun if we were walking in the same woods, but suffice it to say, we like capturing the same light under the same sun :)

Wishing you all a wonderful week of Sunshine (and rain, if you need it)

There isn't much I can say about the process ... as you can see I just went on and on and could still be if I didn't run out of time.  This was just an exercise in fun.  Hope you enjoy:)

Happy MOM

Saturday Critters

This is a critter of a different sort ... but I couldn't pass this pretty little Leaf Hopper up as it sat on my red garage door ...  Could nature have done a better job on her camouflage?

Smile it'a the Weekend

So, Badger Boos ... Last week you posted your picture with a HUGE treat bone and I promised I would responds today.  I hads to get proofs that I was tellings the truths.  So here's my storys.

My Mom says I is an agilities dog and therefores I has to stays in shapes.  She claims that if I gets overweights it will be hards on my joints (like I even knows what a joints is). Anyways to makes a long storys shorts, my treats are so littles thats I'm not even sures I has anythings in my mouths when she gives it to mes.(See picture below)

Now I has to be honest with yous.  I do gets more than one treats a day.  In facts I gets one of those little things whenevers I do goods.  And, my Buddies and I in agilities class has learned that if we give the other Moms the "eyes", they will gives us treats, so I is not really neglected completelys, but looks at that little treat ... Really Moms, you can't do betters than that!

So thats my sad storys, Badger Boos, and I'm stickin' toos it.  

Hopes you is havins a goods week :)
