Yes Adrian. I just wish that the ranch sliders had been open: this is shot through double glazing from indoors on a dull, wet day so whilst I'm happy with the subject I'm less happy with the quality.
Oh no. I'm not sure that even with a camera in my hand I could have watched this up close... You should have had a warning for [squeamish] (I don't know how to do strikethrough in a comment) sensitive readers at the top of this one! I was expecting something completely different from the title... LOL
Yes, Virginia, ours are pretty gentlemanly really and have a beautiful morning chorus song. In fact one is singing it's heart out this evening at sundown as I type.
We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.
Life
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )

Like a Godwit I migrate. I live in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere's Summer and I live in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the Northern Hemisphere's Summer (See Eagleton Notes). In both places I also live in Blogland which, for me, is as real a life as any other.

What a tidy bird...a very neatly wrapped meal.

ReplyDeletePS. The look on that bird's face in the third picture is priceless, though...
DeleteI think if I were a Blackbird, Monica, I'd have been pretty smug about a meal like that.

How deftly he folded and secured his meal...very impressive. He has reason to look smug don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI do indeed Jill.
DeleteSo you have those Blackbirds there as well. Yours seem to be far more well-behaved than ours though.
ReplyDeleteYes, Virginia, ours are pretty gentlemanly really and have a beautiful morning chorus song. In fact one is singing it's heart out this evening at sundown as I type.
DeleteWow great and enjoyable photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn. Thanks for visiting and for your comment.
DeleteI think he looks pretty defiant in that last shot, daring you to come any nearer to him and his dinner. Your worms look to be in good nick!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly good nick Pauline. I wondered whether he could see me through the glass. If he could you are probably absolutely right!
Delete"What? Hungry here. Circle of life, brother. Circle of life."
ReplyDelete:) Great shots, GB!!!
