Flicker Friday with Flowery Rosy

Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we are going to share some fun pictures and video of our resident Northern Flicker.

He is a big fan of the suet Mama puts in the backyard.

He has no problem breaking off pieces with his long sharp beak, does he??

He doesn't visit Birdy Theater often, so when he does, Mama loves to show him off. This video shows a bit of his personality as he interacts with a flock of Starlings and Red Wing Blackbirds (who can be very annoying!).

He sure is a pretty bird, we always look forward to seeing him around the backyard!

Thanks for joining us for a little Friday Flicker fun today!

We hope everyone has a chance to view some nature this weekend!!

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.

Thankful Thursday

 

Although Mama may not agree, today I am thankful that she has to stay off of her feet. It means unlimited snuggle time for me (and I suppose Rosy too)! 

I'm going to enjoy it while I can because Mama goes back to the doctor in 2 weeks!

Birdy-Sauruses

 

Today, we are going to take a look at some of the house finches that visit our Smart Feeder. We think out of all the birds in the backyard right now, they look the most like little dinosaurs!

What do you think?

Rosy Roses for Valentine's Day

Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. To celebrate the week of love, I thought I would gather some roses we have collected through the years and share them with you. Mama has collected roses from all over the US, but these are mostly from California and New Mexico.

"There is simply The Rose, it is perfect in every moment of its existence."   ~Ralph Waldo Emerson 

"When you stop to smell a Spring flower [or a Rosy flower] , it's as if the soul of that flower settles inside you! And then you become that flower for a short time..."    ~Mehmet Murat ildan

"The rose is without an explanation; She blooms because She blooms!" ~Angelus Silesius

I especially like that last quote. I am good at doing things that should never require explanation, right Mama? BOL

We hope you enjoyed these Valentine's Day rosies, and hope everyone gets out to enjoy some nature this weekend!

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.

Trashy Walkies

Today, I am thankful that my Daddy is picking up the slack in the walk department. Last Saturday we even picked up trash along our walk, a WHOLE garbage bag full of trash. As you can tell, I was amazed at how much humans leave trash everywhere.

I am very thankful for humans, like Daddy, who clean up trash instead of leaving it on the ground.

Come on Daddy, let's get back to our trashy walking!
