Nature (from the Porch)

This bee was stuck on our porch today. He was pretty good in size...

I thought I would do some close ups for practice before I worked at capturing him to get him back outside.

When he fell from my piece of paper onto the stoop outside the door I could hear that "thump."

Hopefully he's alive because after dinner when we went back out to the porch, he was gone!

Bye, bee!


Next, we have the eager face of getting outside to the porch as fast as we can navigate the large, bumpy frame of the sliding glass doors....

And we got to see some ducks (they are in the sun.) Can't see them too well in the photo...

The ducks were walking towards the next unit as there is a [crazy bird] lady next door that makes sure there are multiple feeders along with a heated bird bath (all year long) available for the birds' use.

Unfortunately, this means there are woodpeckers (that peck your house), chipmunks (that destroy the gardens), and squirrels (that are seriously just a flat out nuisance).

Not to mention giant blackbirds/crows that practically knock the feeder from the stand because they are greedy, nasty things and the birdseed ends up destroying the grass.

(Really? Don't have anything better to do with your time, [crazy bird] lady!?!?) :)

Sorry.

The [crazy bird] lady next door bothers me a little :).




Let's get back to some cuteness...!


I am feeling a little better now that I got a little of that out of my system. :)

Do you all have these trees at all? The red one...

I love them 'cause they smell so good.

(Unfortunately, the [crazy bird] lady lives just past this tree.)

I will just focus on spring.....
*deep breath*
*deep sigh*

Have a good weekend!
