| This vulture was so busy chewing on this discarded ham bone we got to drive right up next to him on our way back home to take his picture. Gruesome fello huh? |
 |
| We've got to get all the bushes on this side cut way down so that Scott can get in to make repairs on the house. |
 |
| The bushes have just gotten way TOO tall! |
 |
| I've got to cut the old wood away from the Confederate Rose and I have to come up with something for a trellis for this yellow flowering plant that I can't remember the name of at this moment. |
I bet you're glad of warmer weather and seeing signs of spring!

ReplyDeleteLooking more and more like spring in your photos! Flowers! Oh, joy.
ReplyDeleteThat vulture photo made my day a little bit. We don't have Black Vultures up north here, only Turkey Vultures. And I have a bit of a soft spot for these gruesome avians. I love they way they soar on their huge wings without hardly flapping. They are so big!! And I appreciate the clean-up service they provide for us all and the special digestive tract features that allows them to eat such dreadful fare.
I've probably told you this story before (because I tell EVERYONE whenever the chance presents itself): When I worked at ZooMontana there was a turkey vulture. One one of my first days I got a little too familiar with him (I tried to pet him while a zookeeper had him perched) and he promptly bit me and threw up on my hand. That was how I learned that is their defensive strategy--vomit and bite. Considering what they eat its pretty effective. For some (probably strange) reason this experience made me enjoy these birds more, rather than less.
Glad the rain held out long enough for you to get out and see some sights!
