I've been trying to attract more birds to the back yard, so that I can get some pictures.
I know that the red birds like fruit and berries, so I took an orange that had been in the fruit basket for a while and cut it into sections.
I wired one half to a tree branch by the feeder and sliced the other half and put it under the feeder on the ground. The red birds seem to gather there.
Instead of red birds, I attracted this guy...
He took all the pieces and hid them somewhere for later....
As I came around the bend, I saw a calf standing by the fence, near the road. What a find!
So I pulled off and grabbed my camera.
As I approached the fence, a smaller calf ran behind it's mother. Now feeling secure at her side and being curious as most youngsters are, it turned around to see if I was still there.
The other calf, wanting to prove it was the braver one, never moved one step!
I think this has been one of the most colorful spring seasons we've had in years. Maybe all the snow we got had something to do with it?
Crab apple....
Tulip tree...
????
Dogwood...
Hope you are enjoying Springtime too!
I couldn't believe how large the tubulars from the sweet potato vine had grown! The large one was about 6 or 7 inches long. It was about an inch when I planted it.
Time to decide what I want to put in the patio containers this year. Zinnias and Geraniums for sure, they did well last year. I had some African Daisies that were different.. more sweet potato vine...green... and I saw some purple, almost black that I really liked.
Not exactly what you were expecting, is it??!!
The tallest and best proportioned woman
In the world lives in Holland.
She is 7'4' and weighs 320 pounds..
What a relief!
Now we ALL know we aren't overweight; we're just too short!
~ Have a great weekend ~
