Flying High

This is Sonny Boy's Dragon Kite. I'm told a souvenir from a trip to San Francisco.

The kids had fun flying it on our last trip to Tennessee.

Happy Friday!

This fence surrounded a Civil War cemetary on the grounds.

Closer view with a bird. Mockingbird.

Happy Thursday!

Flowery Wednesday

A trip to the garden resulted in the discovery of a massive weed infestation. We have had so much rain we couldn't use the tiller, so the weeds have basically taken over. We did get a cucumber and a couple of zucchinis for a nice salad. Hopefully the tomatoes will do well. There are lots of green ones right now.

However, there were lots of zinnias thriving in Bro O's garden.

Elderberries. They make my favorite kind of jelly! 

Happy Wednesday!

Mr. Woody

Woody was out again early Saturday morning.

 High up in the tippy top of a tree...

...and hanging on the side of an electric pole.

Happy Tuesday!

Ducks Again

The ducks were out again early yesterday.

Happy Monday!

Dragonfly Day

Over the past few weeks I have collected a few
dragonfly poses. These are a few.

Swift Long-winged Skimmer. Odd stance don't you think? Found at The Rez.

Brown-spotted Yellow-wing. In Bro O's garden.

Widow Skimmer. Taken at Bro O's pond.

Another view of a somewhat different Widow Skimmer. He looks different than the other Widow Skimmer, but according to Insect Identification and my Insect book, that's what it is. Taken at The Rez. I followed him around for quite some time, while Findley complained. He always seemed to land down in the weeds where I couldn't get a clear shot.

Green Clearwing, which I've posted before but had to include in this group.

Happy Sunday!

Juveniles, Ducks, and Woody

Walked over to the Rez last night after it cooled down some, but didn't find any critters to photograph. This morning I got an early start 7:00 a.m. and found more activity.

This is a juvenile Robin up in the tippy top of a tall tree perched on a dead branch.

This is a juvenile, but not sure what. I think he might be a House Finch, but I'm not sure.

The ducks were out, gliding through the water.

And Woody was playing peek-a-boo again today.

Happy Saturday!
