From the Air

Kodi is not sure that he likes drones.

That’s it for this week. I’m linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters.

Saturday’s Critters, Springtime

It’s the love season for dove. Here’s a couple doing some mixed bathing, almost concealed because the blend in so well with the fence.

Mr. Squirrel gets kind of thirsty also.

And we have another cat roaming the back yard at night.

We have lots of sparrows stopping by.

I love the cardinals.

I was walking at Lafortune Park the other day and saw this goose checking everybody out. As I approached it he started acting restless so I backed off so he could chill down.

Grackles everywhere. I run them off whenever I can.

And a brief kerfuffle between a sparrow and a cardinal.

And I completed another jigsaw puzzle on my ipad. I am really slowwwww on these. But they are fun.

October Shadows

I went walking around Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. Saw this tree, half in the sun, half shaded. I loved it. I did an edit with the iphone app ArtCard.

And then later on my walk encountered this big ole thing the parking lot. It looks very official.

And this is from my back yard yesterday morning. It looks warm and sunny and it was 44F. Not warm in my book.

Shadow Shot Sunday – Rocks, Patio, and Deck

Boulder House Shadows

On our recent trip we stayed in a house on the side of a hill. I kind of liked the interplay of the trees, boulders, and shadows.

Chilling on an afternoon at our cabin I loved the shadows on the deck.

And back at home, a little fancy curlicue shadow on our patio.
