Some goldfinch shots from yesterday evening.
|
I'm very happy I moved the feeder close to the house.
|
Very, very happy. :)
|
From this morning's walk... my neighbor's lilac is starting to bloom. It smells amazing.
|
A robin after her equivalent of a trip to Lowes.
|
More flowering trees along the trail I walk Beavis.
|
I don't remember them blooming this much last year.
|
I'm pretty sure this is a crabapple. The one in my yard isn't ready to bloom just yet. A few more days and it'll be poppin'.
|
Until then, I'll enjoy the sights and smells of the ones on the trail.
|
A little family of grape hyacinths, growing wild above the creek.
|
I took a tote bag with me to bring home some of the rocks along the creek for my garden.
|
*GASP!* "Is that a ball!?"
"No, Beavis. It's a rock." |
He didn't believe me. I made the mistake of teaching him to sing/howl on command, and he does it when he wants something. Walks. Food. Treats. Toys. Balls. Rocks that look suspiciously like balls.
|
"Let me serenade you... Rooorooooroooooroooooooooo!"
|
"Uh... Mom? I'm singing. Give me the damn ball already!"
|
This is what all the fuss was about.
|
Almost home, and I spotted a squirrel.
|
He spotted me, too, and climbed a tree.
|
And climbed a little higher, not taking his eyes off us.
|
Another day, another finch.
|
"Pay attention to me! I'm cute, and I have a wuzzle ear and a snaggle tooth."
|
Grumpy.
|
Some of the rocks along my flowerbed. Eventually, I want the entire border to be collected rocks. It's currently a border of granite bricks I found on my property when I moved in. I want something more natural looking.

That robin photo absolutely cracks me up - as does Beavis singing for the rock. The bird shots are beautiful.

Well, you have done it again with some spectacular photos. The bird are so colorful. I am glad you moved the feeder closer to the house too! The squirrel is a crack up in the photo where he has one paw holding the tree. #18 like he is waiting on a street corner for a friend! And my favorites! All of the Beavis pictures. He is so silly about the rocks thinking they are balls! #13, #14, #15 all so cute.

Great photos! I think you've inspired me to get a birdfeeder. You get the best shots. And I love the grumpy one of Beavis. He's just so cute.
