Happy Mother's Day

Do you know what day this is?

 
Are these flowers really for me?
 
 
And you got me a hat
and some special
Sunflower "candy."
 
 
I knew the "candy"
was for Him too!
 
 
Hope your Mother's Day
was as great as mine!

A Flash of Blue

I saw something blue
just out of the corner of my eye
and immediately thought,
"That's much too small for a Bluejay."

 
If I am lucky,
each Spring I see some or one
Indigo Bunting.
 
 
 
They rarely stick around
more than a day or two.
 

 
So I took pictures as quickly as I could.
 
 
Until he finally said,
"Enough, Lady!
Can't you see I'm trying to eat?"

Just Call Me "Handsome"

 
 
The Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks just arrived this weekend.
 
They usually spend a couple of weeks vacation
at my house every Spring.
 
Just call me "Beautiful"
 
 
This is his lovely mate.
 
They both didn't seem to mind my presence,
and patiently waited in a nearby tree this morning
as I filled the bird feeders.
 

They also willingly posed for a few more pictures.
 
 How about a back view.
 
 
 Oh, Oh, What's this?
 
 
Someone else checking out the feeders,
and in broad daylight.
No slinking in after dark.
This raccoon even washed his paws
in the birds water dish.
 
 
Just call me "TROUBLE"
 
 
Hope you have a Happy Day!
