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:

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...

Far Out

Carmi's Thematic Photographic 343 is Far from Home. The furthest I've been is to Maui, followed by Argentina. Back then I just had film cameras, and none of the shots are available here. (I'd take pictures of the pictures, if I could.) This pic is out west from the earlier days of my blog.

And here is my contribution to TexWiscGirl's Good Fences #71:

Other Beesness:


Update: I sometimes forget that Nature Notes is something you do in advance. This is my contribution to Nature Notes (#322). Here's a butterfly party down by Lake Siri:

Also, looking north over Lake Siri at Cacapon Mountain:
