Feed Me! Feed Me! Feed Me!

Such a commotion!

Loud, noisy screeching!

 

This youngster wanted to be fed.

 

"Hey, Mom and Dad--I'm Here."

"Aren't you ever going to feed me?"

"Oh, that was good."

 

"How about another bite?"

 

 

"Son, we need to talk.  You can do this for yourself."

 

"Mom--Dad, where did you go?"

 

 

"Well, here goes--I think I can."

 

 

"I did it!  I did it!  It tastes so good."

"Mom, Dad, did you see what I just did??"

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!

Little Signs of Spring - On the Wild Side

This week you could almost see things growing.

Little by little, signs of Spring are popping up.

 

 

Taking a walk through our woods,

this is what I saw.

 

 

Spring Beauties (at least that is what we called them),

were peaking through the leaves.

 



Dutchman's Breeches with their fern-like leaves

are also enjoying the sunshine.

 

 

Up in the sky the Turkey Buzzards

are playing in the wind currents.

 

 

In the valley, the Wood Ducks

are making ripples in the sparkling water.

 

And on the top of some of the hillsides,

Dogtooth Violets are blooming.

 

 

SPRING -- What a refreshing time of year!

Thank you, God.
