Catatonic Reflections

Fidget: “So…you guys want to see a reflection do you?”

 

Renner: “Well don’t look at me, I can’t even decide which toy I want to sleep with today. Hey, Lemme, how about you – got a reflection to share?”

 

Lemme: “Who me? Do I have a reflection I could share?”

 

Lemme: “Naw…I got nuttin’ .”

Feeling Boxed In

Fidget: Lemme, what are you doing?

 

 

Fidget: Okay, don’t think I can watch this.

 

Renner: I don’t even want to know.

 

 

Fidget: You’re just kidding, right?

 

Lemme: Ummm….

 

Renner: Wow, cats sure know how to make themselves look stupid!

 

Lemme: You know, this is not as comfortable as I thought it would be.

 

Fidget: And this is what I have to live with.

An Amazing Morning

I was excited to see the big guy land and hang around as long as he did. He is a Pileated Woodpecker and though we see them in the area from time to time, usually their stay is too fleeting to catch with my camera.

This morning the camera was at hand and he stuck around long enough for me to get a few shots through the window.

He was not interested in drilling holes in this tree but wanted to drink from a fountain in our yard. The fountain runs all year, though it does freeze in the winter there is always a trickle running no matter the temperature for the winter birds to drink from.

Another very nice happening this morning was seeing the old (though not all that old) and the new coming together.

Yes, they are becoming friends quite quickly. It was good to see Fidget and Lemme sleeping together. It was the first time and at first I thought they were in a rowel again, but then noticed no one was moving and they’d fallen asleep together.

The camera woke Lemme up and he changed positions, but didn’t venture off from his new buddy, Fidget.

Right now, as I am writing, Lemme has spread himself across my arms and Fidget is fast approaching, probably looking for his new brother.

The bliss of harmony at last. It is that time of year isn’t it? Peace on Earth and goodwill to all.

A Day In The Life….

Ahhh beautiful sunrise…the beginning of a new day – so much promise.

Then there is the actual day – yep….look at Fidget’s orange friend, that pretty well describes the day.

Or even this….

And then by the evening it is kind of like this….

That is pretty much a day in the life….

Happy Halloween!

Leaves and a Little Help

Art work by Kim Parkhurst.

First, I wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween weekend!

Now on to ‘Leaves and a Little Help’.

Dog turn out area changed practically over night from green to leaf dropping brown.

We have been having some very windy, rainy days lately which aids in Fall leaves falling. I love Fall, it is my favorite season. I think it rates high in my book due to the beautiful colors of the leaves as they paint the bright blue autumn sky and the crisp air, no longer hot and humid, but not yet cold enough to freeze your breath mid-air.

However, the beauty ends when, over a course of a day or two, the wind and rain undresses the trees and adorns the ground with a few inches of raking material.  We have quite a bit of land to cover around the house and I don’t particularly like to rake, especially on a windy day.

Deer graze just outside our fence.

The local wildlife seem pretty happy with things even though the garden is in miserable shape now covered in leaves and taken down by evening frosts.

Of course that is outside and though it is a gray and rainy day outside there is a lot going on inside.

Fidget is very busy doing what Fidget does….

I’ll let you figure this one out for yourself.

 Photo of Scooter using my ‘Fidget’ editing tool.

Fidget can be very useful, as you can see. He did allow a few more photos of Greyhounds. So I will let him choose which ones to show you next.

Scooter

Renner

Fidget seems to favor the ‘predator lurking on prey’ mode where his victims are clueless to his presence.

Scooter doesn’t care and continues to do what Scooter does best.

Renner just does not want to be a part of Fidget’s antics and is pretty good at hiding ‘in plain sight’.

So now with all the camera work said and done I begin to get to work on other things.

Of course Fidget is no slacker, he is there to help out.

 

 

It is tiring though.

Are we done yet?

 

Then of course…

   Fidget is also big on Quality Control.
