May Flower Nature Friday

 
Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, we are going back to the ABQ Botanical gardens to enjoy some May flowers

The fountain always looks freshest at the beginning of the Summer season, so fresh and clean. 

The Columbines are popping up in the underbrush all over the gardens.

The roses are starting to grow over the trellis so Mama can take pictures over her head...silly Mama.

Believe it or not, this flower is the begininning of what will be a pomegranite. 
Crazy, huh??

Mama took this picture of some Weigela flowers especially for me, 
she knows this is my favorite shade of pink!

My little flower friends look a little like Weigela blooms, don't you think??

The Kousa Dogwood trees are looking good this year.

 Mama even found some Iris that were still blooming.

Mama was surprised to see, when she googled this picture,  this is a Red Osier Dogwood bloom.

Here is a nice Columbine profile picture, I hope Mama got its good side BOL!

We'll wrap up today's May flower post with this pretty yellow 
St. John's Wort bloom!

 This is our favorite time of year in New Mexico, we have lots of flowers to enjoy and the temperatures aren't too hot yet, so we can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. 

We sure hope the weather is just as nice in your corner of Blogville, and all our friends get out and enjoy some nature this weekend!!

A Hummer Kinda Morning on BWW


We are very happy to see our pretty black-chinned hummingbirds are back this year. They always look so happy flitting and buzzing away on the back porch. TC captured a few of them enjoying a morning at the feeder:

Feeling Ducky


A whirlwind tour of Italy including, Rome, Pompeii, Positano, Sorrento, Capri, Assisi, Verona, Venice, Milan, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Pisa, Florence and San Gimingnano. 13 days of walking around taking everything in and looking a lot like this duck.  Next Tuesday, I'll start off a Travel Tuesday series with our time in Rome following every week with more Italian adventures (interrupted by the occasional ArCee camping trip, of course).  


For now though, I leave you with with a happy, ducky picture of Rosy!

Nature Friday Fishies


Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Mama stopped by the ABQ Aquarium awhile ago to visit the fishies. She was surprised to see they were working on renovating the front rooms of the Aquarium, unfortunately, that's where her Otter friends live. She was disappointed she couldn't see the silly Otters, but happy their home was getting an upgrade. They did have a few of the exhibits open so at least Mama could get her fishy fix!

She found Nemo (the Clown Fishy)....

Saw a couple of French Angel Fishies


She also took some video so you could see the fishies better. 
It was pretty dark for taking pictures in the aquarium:

She had to get a picture of this big ole Hogfishy

There weren't many, but Mama does love
 to see the jelly fishies too!


Thank you for joining us for a look at some of the fishies in the Aquarium. Mama can't wait until they finish the renovations and she can visit the Otters again!

We hope all of our friends get to experience some Nature this weekend. 

We are looking forward to seeing our pawrents tomorrow and we bet Mama is going to have 87 million pictures and lots of video to share! We will be back to our regular posting on Monday.

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Raccoon Mischief!

 
Guess who is back at the fountain?? If you guessed Rocky Raccoon, you would be right! Unfortunately, all his his digging for froggies caused a bit of trouble with the fountain. Luckily, after moving a few rocks around, the pawrents figured out a way to keep him from getting his paws where they didn't belong. 

Now, we have TC has been keeping a close eye on him:


He may be full of mischief, but he sure is a cutie!
