The Best Days
While on a perfect Saturday, a day complete with kayaking,
followed by a lovely lunch at a riverside restaurant,
we ran into a new little friend just hanging out on the hood of a car.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the photos.
The Cattle Egret has such wonderful highlights-naturally!
I pay a fortune for it.
A bit of preening, oblivious to the Watcher in with the camera….
Discovered!
Only a brief distraction, then back to business-
or pleasure.
It was definitely a pleasure for me to watch its simple ritual.
What wonderful things have you found in your week?
How beautiful to find that bird standing on the car. Clearly you received a gift. Lovely photos. ❤

Such great photos! I love the detail. Some people would have been in a hurry to scare the bird away. I am so glad you appreciate its beauty!

I took a photo this week while in Orlando (I’ll share soon) and the people I was walking with were mad at me for making them stop. I said “go, I’ll catch up” but I wasn’t going to miss the chance.

Yippee! Can’t wait to see it. I thought of you today. Had a park squirrel take a pecan right out of my fingers. It was a Kodak monent but didn’t get that one. Too busy enjoying the little guy. 😊

I was actually doing Facetime with Lee and was showing him which is why I didn’t get a shot. But the frame was so small on the phone he couldn’t really see. I never felt so tender towards any squirrel before. Except the Mama who saved her baby on my carport. That was a once in a lifetime event.

Aw. We had a baby squirrel that a friend trapped after his cat caught it. He brought it to our yard like it’s a sanctuary. We named her Millicent. She stayed for the summer. The mother saving the baby must have been amazing. Did you write about that story ?

Aww that’s so cool Dan. I like that name too. Yes, I did do a post about it, sometime around a year ago. But it happened about ten years ago. I may jsu reboot it soince I have so many new friends here. It was so amazing and touching to watch.

The odd thing is I noticed there was no reblog button but when I went to my settings that box is enabled. Hmmm….

The birds here are so accustomed to their human cohabitants they just usually go about their business with no fear. This one was in a busy parking lot Deborah! I love the look in its eye..
