This and That on Nature Friday

 

Today, we're celebrating the first Friday in August with a little bit of the Nature I've seen so far this Summer. 

 

 

 

This little guy is a Rufous Hummingbird. He's little, even for a hummer!  Mama says he's just passing through, hopefully he'll make himself at home here for a few weeks.

 

Look at how he changes color when the sun shines on him(or when he wants to show off for the girl birdies)! The orange on his neck almost glows!

 

 

Look over there....

 

 

 

 We still have rosies blooming...both the red blooms

 

 

 

....and the pink blooms like the hot summers here in New Mexico

 

 

 

 

We have had a couple of other frequent visitors who are enjoying the New Mexico Summer

 

 

 

 

This is Fatty Fat Fat Frog. He visits our waterfall at night. I have to say, after my first taste of froggy, I have decided frogs are friends not food. Fatty and I have made a deal. Now, he mostly hides under rocks, and I mostly watch him.

 

 

 

Sunny introduced you to our roadrunner friend earlier this week. I have tried to chase him down to see if we can hunt lizards together. He keeps ignoring me though and eats every lizard he finds....

Sheesh...doesn't he know it's nice to share?!

 

 

 

 

 Nom......lizards!!

Anyway, that wraps up all the this's and that's around our backyard this week.

We hope you all get out and 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 the link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roadrunner Sunny Punny Tuesday

 

Lately, we've had a few sightings of Roadrunner's in our backyard.

Seems they like to hunt lizards....just like Rosy!

 

 

 

In honor of these fast, lizard eating creatures, today we have a Roadrunner Sunny Punny for you! 

 

 

Here we go!

 If the Roadrunner was a car, what kind would it be??

 

A Jeep! Jeep! 

***crickets***

I've really got to have Daddy stop suggesting these silly
Dad Joke punnies....

 

Here is a Moldy Oldy Roadrunner Cartoon Funny from the cartoons they showed on TV when Mama was a human puppy....

Human puppies sure had silly senses of humor in the olden days. Looks like the Coyote got a bad rap and sheesh, that Roadrunner is a lot more glamorous in the cartoon, isn't he?? 

 Although, Rosy never seems to be able to catch our roadrunner either! BOL!

  

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