Quasi-Wordless Wednesday: Critters, Birds, a Flower and a Rainbow

The back yard has been kind of quiet this week except for lots of rain, hail and other things of that sort. Even the Robins and the Blue Jays have been pretty scarce. Still, I had visits from a nice bunny who hung out by the porch for a while and posed quite graciously and the other from a rather nervous woodchuck who also hung out for a while after one of our rain storms but wasn't the most cooperative poser.




This poor guy was very wet and trying to find shelter.



And this brave little robin was REALLY REALLY wet. I think he's just adorable.

I have some almost scary close-ups of this guy and numerous pictures of his butt. He tortured me by being right there and still hard to photograph. Still, it was a nice visit.







I put the rainbow in because I had one in skywatch last Thursday and it seemed to make people happy. This is a different rainbow a week later. There must be some convergence of elements in that spot because this is the third time in 5 months that I've seen a rainbow there.

HAPPY WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: Lots of Birds and Critters

Sorry. Got to stick in some words. Some of these pictures aren't very good, but the scarlet tanagers are so rare - at least for me - that I had to put them in. Same with the little black and white woodpecker. The flicker was too far away too, but I thought the yellow on his wings was too interesting to pass up. The last blue jay is blurry, but isn't that pose just too cool?

I'd also like to ask - I know this is rude - that you check out the post below this one if you have an extra minute. It's photos of the process of cutting down my 60-foot pine tree. I found the process fascinating and I took a zillion pictures... I know it's WW and everyone is busy, but I think it's something few of us get to see in our life times. I would have used it for WW but it was even wordier than this post and I had all these blue jay pictures...

HAPPY WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!

Wordless Wednesday: Back Yard Wonders

The back yard has been good to me this week.


This bunny and her babies have been pretty regular visitors and she has come right up by the house several times. Yippee!









There are two babies. They were so far away most of the time that this was about the only clear shot I got of them. Mother seemed to chase them around more than nurture them. Maybe she was channeling my mother...





This little chipmunk went scampering past and I said out loud to myself... "oh, don't go away." I noticed too late that he had hopped up on the porch and by the time I refocused and found him with the camera, he was off again... Darn. Cute butt, though.

HAPPY WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!
