No new stuff, these are from the archives, some going back several years.

Various cameras, I've worn out several. I believe they were made to be used

Outstanding. I took a bad fall on the ice yesterday afternoon and can barely move around this AM. Your pics have given a lift to a new day. Perhaps I should be thinking about livving elsewhere — no snow; no ice. LOL.

A bird with hair...Cool...Great pics...

Beautiful! One of the best parts of living on the Mississippi gulf coast is the access to the wildlife and many of your pix would sell around here.

Beautiful start to the day. God’s creation is filled with beauty and order. I appreciate the visual reminder. Thank you!

I get the impression this is a hobby for you?

I see exceptional skill and talent. ...far better than I've seen from so-called professionals.

I enjoy viewing your backyard pics. ..very cool.

I get so happy when you post your pictures !!!! I see a photo and think that one is my favorite to date and then I keep scrolling and find another favorite.....I just love them all !!!!!

You should look up a picture of a Polish Chicken...they are quite unique and funny...they look like they are wearing a stunning hat on their heads..

Thank you!

We do love the great blue herons, even though they like to stalk DH’s pickle bucket when he is out casting for mullet, lol.

And the picture of the one spearing is an amazing catch in itself, VeryBigGrin.

Normally, I close with a wish for God to bless , but it is clear He has :) so I will pray instead, that those blessings continue!

Look carefully, the bird with it’s head submerged is a Tricolor Heron. They are always around but not seen as much as the Great Blue Heron.

AH! I forgot to mention the great shot and attitude of the cardinal fella! I am always amazed at the expressions and differences in manner, shakes head.

And the rooster - the close up is incredible, what a handsome bird, but OhMyGoodness - those spurs make me want to jump : o

Thanks again, FRiend and blessings.

Thank you! I had no idea, and couldn’t get an idea of his size either.

But the REALLY important question is - do they like to go “fishing” in old pickle buckets, like their bigger cousins - ala “Yogi bear” and the pic-a-nic baskets ; }

Thanks again and take care :)

They see no reason why your bucket fish are any different than other fish.

[thesearethetimes...]

Au contraire! I think they find the mullet in those buckets to be quite the delicacy, and so handy too! ; }

Blessings.
