And pigs can fly.

 

As sure as God made little Pink Elephants with wings.
I oughta knowed.I done seed a few on 2 specific benders.
Benders are necessary for most fellars to clean out the pipes.

Oh, it is bugs you want, we have plenty. We have the creepy crawly ones and the slap, slap flying ones. Botanist have even created plants to keep them at bay. Nothing seems to work. So many bugs they have planes flying to spray for them. How many people have been sure that plane was going to crash till the pilot pulls up and makes another dive..all because of bugs.. There are enough bugs here to supply the world.. Is that the bugs you want to hear about?

 

Lovely cat, posted in error, can't get rid of it.

 

I bet anything can fly in a mirage.

 

He looks like my Aubie Cat..Beautiful cat.

 

Yes, but it takes practice.

 

Just as with most cats, if they decide they like you, you now have a cat to take care of.

Give in now and accept it, you now have an internet cat. It's easier that way.

 

This is for the ornithologist component of the bar that’s revealed itself recently. One of my favorite seasonal perks of my job—watching and listening to the geese and Sandhill Cranes migrate in the spring and fall.

These were way up there and moving fast so I only caught a bit of the longest side of the V. Perhaps one of you ornithologists can explain to everyone why “v’s” of geese typically have a longer line on one side of the “v” than the other.

 

......

 

First time I saw a spray plane was early morning walking the beach on Sanibel as a teen, I was sure this cargo plane was going down!

 

All sandhills are not migratory some remain in the same area. In central Florida there are sandhill cranes that stay year round.There was a man that passed our house everyday and we became curious because we lived on a dead end street, we followed him to see what he was doing. He told us he was checking on the sandhill cranes and the ones that migrated, he worked for the government, what a dream job. We have been to the North Platte River in the early spring but not at the time to see the sandhills.

In Jacksonville, Florida at UNF they had a border collie to help control the geese. https://www.news4jax.com/news/2017/01/24/unf-hires-border-collie-to-solve-canada-geese-problem/

Ok go ahead critique it for me. It was a fast draw and paint . I didn't take enough time..

 

Cats and owls, two of my favourite beasts.

 

Um ... More " we " bidness ... eh. I could wonder how many of these
" we " I missed out on in 6 months ... But I won't.
I couldn't.I Shouldn't.Because Home is where the heart is.
Huh ? ... why
- The Subject Was Roses - { 1968 } Powerful Drama.
My kind of Movie.Because Life is NOT always a Bed of Roses.
So why pretend.

I dunno ,,, The eyes set the stage.Give meaning,That's the main thing.
It's been thought that Cats do not like direct eye contact with us
mortals of the Human persuation. Cats precede dogs,Y'Know.
Nothing today appears to precede Politics.Therefore the need of
Me,me,me,me,me ... Meeeeeeeeeee !

 

Jabba the cat...

 

Meeeow!!

 

He does..

 

However keep in mind that Pet Lovers are generally born.
They do not spring up over night.But they can in regards to a
stray that eventually wins an Owner over.But in the long and short
of it ... Pet Lovers are not " transformed " but rather waiting.
For the right pet.The right combination of communication.
The right Owner.Like a Perfect Storm.But far easier and commonplace.
That is why I maintain that Pets are God's gift to Humanity.

 

Because nature { In the wild } have rules.One reason that the
Calofornia Condor had been endangered for decades but has made
some progress.Like the Timber wolf.
The Condor like a Timber wolf is very strict in their ways.
A Condor has only one offspring ever 2 or so years.meaning a
single egg.They are so protective that if anything approaches their
nest,they may just up and abandon it.
Birds are finicky that way.But it's never Political with Birds
outside of their territory.Therefore Politics is everywhere.It cannot
be escaped.I hope Miss Smarty learned that Lesson.
She coulda sworn that Facebook was just this nice place to go
and chat.Put up Pics and act like Grandparents.
That was Then ... Yeah righto.
This is Now.
