Windy days, calm nights and a new family

hammered · May 3, 2011

Hi guys, these shots were taken over the last couple of days. It has been very sunny but very windy too, as you will see :laughing7:

.

Benson making his usual appearance

The next 2 are of a European Robin taking shelter from the wind, but still singing

Water lily's finally starting to bloom

A night time visitor to my garden, sorry about the weeds

A rabbit keeping a lookout, in my fave field too

The wind was so strong this Magpie was holding on for dear life

Make up your own caption for this one :laughing7:

The new family on the pond, this was their first outing today, all 15 plus Mum

I hope you have enjoyed the pics

Hammered, I think I made myself clear, I'd love to be there, (except for the cold weather, LOL!). So much of heaven in little pictures! Your area looks like a picture perfect postcard. Thank you so much!

I got my irfanview loaded, gotta a few clitches, may hafta unload/reload, still gotta update the Kodak program, they are talking to each other already. No problems, just too tired to do it all tonight. When I get my camera batteries charged and new updates, I'll get ya'll some pictures of my area here too.

Thanks to Tenn too, I know where to find my IT guys now! LOL! Ya'll have fun and see ya soon.

ps. that little picture on the left, was last night at our South Florida Treasure Hunters Club (SFTHC). We're having a beach side picnic 5/22. We also received a thank you letter from Ronald McDonald House of S. Fl.,for all the pulltabs we give to them, pounds of them. Now if we can just start recycling all those beer bottle caps! Any ideas?

Hi NaturalJWL , that critter is what we call a hedgehog, I don't know the latin name, but they are shy and cute and eat slugs, so they are our friends :laughing7:

, hopefully I will get some baby photos soon. Take care :wink:

I may be popping out to Florida later this year, my niece is a flying instructor out there and she has been asking me to go out there for a while now. She's a great kid with a superb sense of humour :laughing7:

, a bit like mine, lucky ain't she :laughing9:

. Anyway I'll let you all know if I decide to invade the States anytime soon :tongue3:

You need to bring me some of those little critters then! LOL! You know, of course, custom rules though. In our Everglades, we are being over-run by foreign pythons, and large lizards and hila monsters. They are digging tunnells under the canal walls, nobody,(like Army Corps of Engineers),seems too concerned about the damage these creatures can do, yet. They grow 5 to 6 feet long, (sorry, no metric converter handy).
Back to Hammered pictures and heaven......I thought I saw falcons or raptors in some pics.....(says the cat smacking her lips).........the cat really likes all the bird pics, hehehehehe
keep them coming..........please.......
