Carolina Wren.

Small bird very loud song !
This past spring one of these birds built
a nest in one of my news paper boxes.
I receive 2 papers one every day and
one Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
An odd looking bird. Can it really fly ?

Leaving the nest.
















The baby Blue bird below is preparing to
leave the nest box. The next morning
after i took these pics they were gone
all three of them.

Under the watchful eye of a Parent,
they are off to, learn how to catch
worms and bugs.

Phun Phishing Phriday !
















Dig your own bait, worms,crickets, or
other squishy, squiggly, crawly stuff.
Maybe you would like to cast a net for
your bait, after all you have the expertise.
Are we having fun yet, we've got all day
to bring back the big one.

Select a half dozen of your favorite rod
and reels. You can never have too many,
After all a Fisherman such as yourself
must bring back the biggest fish; "no liar
here".

Would you like to fish from
a sturdy seaworthy boat?   No?

Let the Fishing begin !!!!!!!
ooppsss !!!
Our Tackle box is now hanging from the
telephone line, ringy dingy to the fish
market.

Cats

Pussy cat, Pussy cat where have
you been? I've been to London to
look at the Queen. Pussy cat,
Pussy cat, what did you there? 
I frightened a mouse under a chair.













The mice consult how to preserve their
fate by timely notice of th' approaching
cat. We'll hang a bell about her neck,
cried one; a third replied- but who shall
put it on? Moral: Good council is easy
given but the effect oft renders it uneasy
to transact.

Rose of Sharon.


Above; not a honey bee, not a humming bird,
but a very long extension on it's front for
consuming nectar, I assume.

Below Buds and Bloom.


One last sip, and then another flower.
