Nature Friday - SQUIRREL!!

 

 Arty here today, to tell you about my recent encounter with Seamus the sneaky squirrel!!

 

 

 

 It all happened last month when I took Mama and Daddy with me to look at possible new wheelie houses. After a long day of schmoozing with salespeople

Mama and Daddy really needed a walk in Nature.   We headed out to the nearest park for a stroll. As I was posing nicely with Daddy, I heard a rustle in a nearby orange tree...

and there he was....

 

 *crunch, crunch, crunch*

Hiya little fluffy dog,

 I'm Seamus the squirrel! Too bad you can't climb a tree...or maybe you could catch me

*snicker*

 

 

 

I may not be able to climb you tricksy Seamus squirrel, but I can

BARK, BARK, BARK 

you out of the tree!!

 

   

 

 

 

Before I knew it, there he was right in front of me...

swishing his sneaky little squirrel tail. 

 

 You're lucky I have to keep my Daddy on this string Seamus, or I would run over and

 

ummm...

 

well...

 

I suppose I'm not sure what I would do with you.

 

 

 

Maybe you can just tell your brother and sisters you caught me and we'll pretend you did, Arty!

 

 

 Sounds like a great plan!!

Thanks Seamus,  I am glad you are a sneaky squirrel after all!!

 

 

 

So, lets just keep this between us Blogville, and not tell the rest of the Gang...ok??

Warming Up on Nature Friday

 

 Happy Nature Friday! We know many of you have had, and might still be having, freezy cold temperatures this week. Although we do have some friends who really love it when it's cold, for those of you who don't, we thought we would show you some flowers blooming around here to that may help warm you up just a little bit!

 

 

 

 Let's start with this sunny flowering Tasmanian Tiger plant.

 

 

 

 Such delicate little flowers!

 

Then there is this Sapphire Blue, Sea Holly.

Don't the bright colors make you think of Summer?

 

 

 

...and wait until you see what's on the other side of the bridge!

 

 

 

 

 Blooming rhododendrons!

Aren't they pretty?

 

 

 

 Mama loves the way the pink looks against the blue skies!

 

 

 

 

 I found this white rhody close to the ground for Mama.

 

 

 

 

 

We'll wrap things up with this beautiful pink rose!!

 

 

 We are sending warm snuggles to all those who have been effected by the sub-freezing temperatures this week. We especially lift up all our friends in Texas who aren't used to  this kind of weather. 

We hope everyone warms up(at least a little bit)

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 for ICE CREAM!

 

I know Valentines Day is over, but I wanted to share how lucky I am! My Best Gal Mabel sent me the bestest Valentine surprises ever!! 

 

Not only did she send me delicious smelling Orange Sherbet cologne, she also sent ICE CREAM and not any kind, she sent Maple Bacon flavored ice cream!!!

 

 

 I can almost taste it already!!

Needless to say, I asked Mama to make it right away. It was easy peasy, just add some water, mix it up real good and throw it in the freezer. 5 hours later, it's NOM time!!

Mama took a video of Rosy and I enjoying some Ice Cream after dinner last night.

 

 You can also watch the video HERE, on YouTube

 

 

Thank you for the delicious ice cream Mabel,

I can't wait to have it for dessert again tonight!!

 

 

Thank you Brian for hosting the

Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

 

Our Favorite Place to Hike

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Nature Friday! Since this weekend is Valentine's Day, we thought we would show you some pictures of a place we all love to hike, the Arcata Marsh!

 

 

 

 Believe it or not, some of the trees are already starting to bloom! We sure hope we don't get another cold snap before Spring truly arrives!

 

 

 

 The trees still have a long way to go before things are green again though.

 

 

 

 

 Not that the marsh doesn't look good in the Winter too.

 

 The clouds and bare limbs of the trees make pretty reflections, don't you think?

 

 

It's easier to see the birdies without leaves on the trees too!

 

 

 

 Plus, we can go for longer hikes when it's cooler outside.

 

 

 

 We have to say that although it's pretty in the winter, we are also looking forward to the sunnier days of Spring!

 

 

We hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day with the ones they love!!

Happy Models

 

 

 I always enjoy my one on one modeling with Mama, it's a chance for some fun one on one time

But I'm always happy when Arty joins us for a couple of pictures

 

 

You never know what will happen when he gets involved!

BOL!! 

 

I have to admit, modeling is always better with a friend!!

We are joining Sandee at  Comedy Plus for the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

Rainy Season Skies on Nature Friday

 

 Rainy season has settled in here in the Northwest corner of California. Time for raincoats, wet walks and for some pretty cool looking skies!!

 

You see, during rain season it can go from rainy skies to blue skies and back to rainy skies in a matter of hours(and sometimes minutes!).

 

 

 

 Mama calls these things squall lines and she loves to hop in the car and go take pictures of the changing skies.

 

 

 Sometimes she heads to Arty's ocean...

 

 

 Don't worry, we won't tell Arty Mama. Just give us a few more of those nommy cookies and we'll keep quiet!

 

 

 This time of year, she doesn't go near the water anyway. It can be pretty dangerous!

 

 

 

She doesn't need to be close to the water though, the clouds paint pretty pictures

where ever they are!

 

 

 We hope you enjoyed a look at some of the pretty rainy season skies today. We hope you get out and see some pretty skies this weekend!
