Halloween Fences and Critters

My contribution to TexWiscGirl's Good Fences #84.


This is also my contribution to Eileeninmd's Saturday's Critters #98. (I've been too busy to do much blogging or commenting this past week. Still plenty to go, too, I'm afraid.)


This video has been on youtube for a while, but I just saw it the first time the other day:

Halloween Spider

My contribution to Eileeinmd's Saturday's Critters #97. (Late better than never, right?)

Additionally I'm linking to Carmi's Thematic Photographic 353 - Size Small. This ladybug is not perfectly focused, but I like the how the grain of the bricks and mortar came out.

I'm also linking to Michelle's Nature Notes (#335).

German Village Parrot

My contribution to Eileeninmd's Saturday's Critters #95.


I heard a strange bird sound in German Village last week. Pulled out my camera and started looking around, but the birdie went silent. Finally I looked down at the porch...
