Not much time or energy today, just made a fast run to the store for cat food, with part of the trip running through the county arboretum, LOL. It is looking good! On the way home I stopped at a little wild pond, the neighborhood Anhinga was sunbathing. I can't figure how they balance on little skinny branches with their big floppy feet, but somehow they do it.

the neighborhood Anhinga ............I have only known them as water turkeys, LOL!
Really beautiful, thank you!
These always cheers me up.
Saw our first crocus this evening. Thanks for the wonderful photographs. Gives us hope.
The white and the purple flowers look like Gerbers. I give—what’s the yellow?! Beautiful, as always!
Nope, it’s not a Cormorant, not even closely related. I’ve got no problem with any critter that God made, reckon you do.
That’s fine with me, some of us enjoy wild things, you don’t, but we don’t force anyone to look at pictures that upset them.
The white and purples are Cape Daisies, osteoderms. The yellow may be some kind of poppy. The yellow is hard to photograph, it bounces light back like a mirror.
I thought the yellow was a popppy, but I thought it was too hot in the south for them? They won’t grow on the coast in NC. Doesn’t matter—always had too much curiosity! Still beautiful, and thanks for setting me straight on the daisies!
Mighty touchy after all of my nice comments on your pictures over the years...
Ooooh, purrrty.
Birds are just birds, they eat, and they crap, ain’t no big deal.
Frankly, I can’t figure out exactly what motivated you to make that comment. This is a wild bird, living in a wild place, not a Central park pigeon eating popcorn and crapping on stock brokers.
We have a problem around here, folks from big Northern cities are moving here, settling in, and they want to kill every bird that craps on their BMW, and every frog that sings in their yard. I hope you don’t have that attitude, it isn’t part of being a true conservative.
Hey, maybe, someday, a cormorant will crap on Rudy or Bloomie, then, I’ll like birds even more!
I guess you think everyone from “up north” is from “the big city”. Really sad.
That and my 300 ac farm in base of the Adirondacks is full of stockbrokers and beemers too.
Ooooh, ahhhh.
By using their Anhinga wings?
FANTASTIC PHOTOS.
Good morning. Lovely pictures to start off my day.
Looks like the anhinga is watching you to make sure you don’t get too close!
