Thank You

Thanks to all of those who have or are serving our country in the military. Thanks to their families too, who give up so much. And gratitude most especially for the those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Remember them all today, ok?

One of my favorite things

My Prairie Fire Crabapple tree.crabapple02Larry gave it to me for my birthday 5 years agocrabapple01It is so pretty that it takes my breath awaycrabapple03Larry isn’t crazy about it. He is a farm boy and a crabapple tree isn’t a useful plant in his opinion. He also has to mow around it and that is never good.crabapple04But he likes to make me happy so he got it for me.crabapple05Now every spring when it blooms, I not only get to enjoy the flowers, but I get reminded a little bit about what love is.

What – more birds Wednesday???

I know, I know. I take a lot of photos of birds. But I like birds. They are pretty. If you don’t like them, then you should go play some games on Pogo today instead of reading my blog. I will really miss you. You will come back tomorrow though, right?

This is not a bird of course – but the birds use it and I was pretty happy with the reflection that I caught.
This male robin is out back all the time – he and Mrs. Robin have a nest nearby and he does not want me going and taking any photos of his family to be.The whole Goldfinch family came for lunch – the Mom & Dad and two babies. They were all keeping a close watch on my behaviour.This house finch wasn’t trusting me much.This Brown-headed Cowbird thinks I should get lost.And this House Sparrow wasn’t impressed either.
But at least I didn’t get bird butt. Have a great Wednesday!
