Cee’s FOTD: Sunshine On A Cloudy Day
Cee’s ‘Flower Of The Day’ challenge is open every day. Today is quite cloudy, but my Bromeliad hanging out on my patio, guarantees I always have some sunshine. I call her ‘My Girl’. Do you remember that song by the fabulous ‘Temptations’ and can you believe it’s over 50 years’ old? How time flies when you’re having fun.
Now I have an earworm. 🙂 Happy Tuesday to you all.
Here’s the link to Cee’s FOTD Challenge.
Two Guest Stars Plus Two Dozen Extras
The stage is set for the bird theatre show. The two guest stars are Woody wood stork and Mr GBH the great blue heron. Ms Anhinga on the right has a small suppotting role, whilst the ducks are just extras when needed and chorus-line dancers if they can get their act together in time, which at the moment doesn’t look very hopeful.
Hope this gave you a midweek smile. Happy Wednesday everyone.
Friday Feathers: Mr GBH Has The Sulks
Mr. GBH usually looks super dapper and very alert, but I’m sure like all of us, he does has his off days. I usually call them, ‘Dumpy Down Days’. Do you think he was sulking or just having a ‘Bad Feather Day’?
“No, I’m not sulking………….Well maybe just a tiny bit.”
Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend too.
Wordless Wednesday: I’ve Got My Beady Eye On You
Lenny Limpkin on the prowl.
Happy Wednesday to you all.
Mundane Macro Monday: Just Hovering
Actually, nothing in nature is ever mundane, but some things, especially the smaller flying insects may sometimes escape our attention. The Halloween Pennant dragonfly is one of the most prolific and colourful found here in Florida. They don’t stay still for long, so one has to be very quick.
Wishing you all a very pleasant week.
Friday Feathers: Just Pecking A Hole In Your Palm Tree
Woody woodpecker has been seen on numerous occasions, clinging to the trunk of one of our palm trees. Usually he flies away before his photo shoot, but yesterday he was too busy to notice he was being spied on. That’s quite a sizeable hole already. I hope he intends making his home there and raising a family.
Last year, one of our neighbours across the lake told hubby that he became so irritated by the rat-a-tat-tat of a woodpecker incessantly pecking at a tree in his backyard, that he had the tree chopped down. I don’t know about you, but that’s what I would definitely call overkill. I felt sorry for the palm tree as well as the woodpecker.
Happy weekend to you all.
Spiky Squares In March: Pink Quill Plant
BeckyB has challenged us this month to find all things spikey and to post square photos of same.
In a pot just over the waterfall in my fish pond, is this pretty spiky Tilandsia Cyanea, commonly known as the Pink Quill plant because the bright pink flowering bract resembles an old fashioned ink quill.
Hope you have a fun Thursday looking for spiky things around you.
The square challenge isn’t only for spiky things. It also includes bristly, pointy and prickly.
Silent Sunday: Pretty In Pink
Meet Rosie.
Happy Sunday.
Hey Hey, Mr Blue Jay
Hey hey Mr Blue Jay
Where’d you get your gorgeous coat?
Where’d you get your gorgeous coat?
A bit of blue sky rubbed off on me

Happy Wednesday to you all from sunny Florida.
