A new visitor....

diving into the feeder...

yipee a bowl of food...

now this is what I'm talking about...

I added this feeder...

and this guy loves it...

hey save some for us....

Hubby and I went to petsmart to get dog supplies..

and I found their bird seed is alot better priced..

so I got a 40 lb bag....of course they way they word

is being spread....it might not last very long...

these white winged doves are very nice...

they don't mind sharing....

but the solid colored doves...

are very stingy...they peck at anyone that wants to join in...

the white winged...

they just pile on in...

plenty for everyone...

The coast is clear....

he was thirsty..

I guess she is standing guard...

or waiting her turn...

these two have a little discussion before they start...

he sounded like a helicopter flying in...

"did you hear that?" "nah, I didn't hear anything"

the doves are a little nervous...

the other day...there was a whole group of them eating...

all of a sudden they all took off...one hit my office

window...feathers were flying every where...

about that time a hawk flew through...

chased them into the trees...then did another fly by...

it was over an hour before any birds came back...

then a lone sparrow came back to eat...

I know all thoses doves where in the trees...

just watching to see if the hawk came back...

if the sparrow is safe....

we will come back....

I guess the coast was clear...

Smellablogision....

I wish there was smellablogision...

so you could smell...

the honeysuckle..

and this tree...

watch out for the bee....

it might get your nose...

it smells so good...

the birds and the bees are loving it...

the wind has been blowing the last several days...

and blowing the auroma all around...

soon this one will be blooming too...

sniff really hard...maybe you can get the scent...

Bliss did.....

Sunday Stroll....

Sunday....we took a little stroll our FIL's block...

saw these pretty knock out roses...

some where a little tattered from the heavy rainstorms

we had Friday Night...

sweet pink...

just love this stuff...

I have some with the pink flowers...

and some with white...

just looks so dainty...

there has to be a windmill....

it is Texas after all..

I love the red front door...

and the art work....

remember what vans used to look like...

this tree was so pretty with the sun shining through..

Texas pride...

wanna shoot some hoops???

smell some flowers???

hope you enjoyed our stroll...

as much as I did..

now it's time for a glass of iced tea...

and sit around the table soaking up the sunshine...

and a little bird watching....

Instant Zoo...

a blue jay came to feed at FIL's feeder...

when it left the feeder...

it flew over to the cats dish...

and stole a piece of cat food...

a pretty cardinal came to feed also...

he liked the bucket better...

I have a horrible time trying to get photos of

cardinals at my house....but at FIL's they just

let me click away...

a cute little sparrow stopped by also...

we bought my FIL this feeder 2 years ago...

1st came the birds...

then came the cats..

so he started feeding them...

then came the raccoons...

and the oposseums....

even a Armadillo has shown up...

the neighbors chickens come over also...

he really enjoys the visitors..

(no matter how much he complains)

a little bird seed...

a little cat food...

instant zoo....

A sunday adventure....and old blue eyes...

my camera and I decided to be....

Private eyes...looking through cracks...

and holes...to see what we could see...

sometimes it is greener on the otherside...

sometimes there's people...

wonder what they are up too???

hum....just kids playing...

I see a chair...and junk...

(I mean someone's inventory...)

maybe there's a clue there...

nope...just a piece of trash that blew in...

tell the truth....you've looked through to see

what's on the other side...

green grass....a flower pot...

interesting....

hmm...nothing to exciting here...

inside a window unit...

I could hear baby birds...

couldn't see them though...

I spy a pretty blue sky....through this hole...

do you ever get the feeling your being watched...

is there another private eye out watching me???

I thought soo......

Old blue eyes has been watching me.....

the private eye....was being spied on....

you think she saw the same things I did...

or was she just watching me????
