I'd post the others if they weren't of such poor quality. Pretty blurry. Glad some of you "guys" enjoyed the good shots though. Thanks for helping with the identification of some of the flowers. I'm pretty clueless in that area.
I have been attempting to get a shot of the Brown Thrashers but they are shy and busy birds and don't cotton to my snooping around their nests at all. They have made use of all the twine I cut up along with some stout twigs I put near the shrub. Oh, and I gave my long haired German Shepard a good brushing and placed the hair on the ground that was snatched up swiftly for lining I assume.
The female was sitting on the nest at sunset so maybe she has laid the eggs or is very close to doing so.
I'll get some pictures of them in due time. Just wait.

Good Morning MamaTexan!
It's chilly this morning but we may get near 60 today. By Sunday, we should be over 60! The weather people better be telling the truth. :)
I have to put some Epsom salts on my Roses! I have somewhere in the upper 30's of Roses Bushes. I did that last year, What a difference in new canes. I think the secret is getting out around here. The price of Epsom Salts is so much higher this year. It use to be $1 something and now it's well over $2. I'm going to have to run to Walmart just for Epsom Salts. :)
Guess where my husband is :) See he is in TX more than here.
What? Your husband doesn't want to talk about your flowers with you ;). LOL

Your pictures are great to see. That place is near you? How lucky are you! You can keep taking pictures for us because each month or more, there will be different flowers coming up all the time.
Looking forward to your pictures of Brown Thrashers!
I wanted to ask you, did you have a problem with your Mockingbirds becoming territorial? I see two of them fighting, but I think one was trying to chase a Cardinal last night from the other side of the yard that I put Mockers food. I just hope a nest isn't too close to the house. I sure don't want them divebombing me. LOL!
