PhotoHunt: Spotted

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Spotted” When I saw the PhotoHunt theme this week is “Spotted”, the first thing that crossed my mind was the Spot-Breasted Oriole. These birds are native to Mexico and Central America, but because of their vivid plumage, many were caught and brought to the U.S. to be caged birds [...]

PhotoHunt: Balanced

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Balanced” Two weekends ago, it was absofreakinglutely freezing here. In Miami, of all places! My cats were indoors, the plants were as protected as we could arrange. I did worry a little about the birds who visit the feeders in my backyard, but most of all I worried about [...]

PhotoHunt: Lick

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Lick.” I’m sure I don’t know why. This squirrel is licking up some water from the birdbath. It’s not Perriet, but it’ll do. Sly is licking his lips after a treat. Please, Mom! May I have some more? Happy New Year, Everyone!

PhotoHunt & Nature Notes: Buntings & Catbirds & Hummingbirds, Oh, My!

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Birds” Totally cheating, I’m combining my PhotoHunt and Nature Notes posts, again this week. Well, the subject’s pretty much the same – Birds. Things have been, and continue to be, hectic around here, lately. But I was able to steal a little time to enjoy the increasingly better weather [...]

Nature Notes: Zebra Longwings Butterfly

Just a quickie, this morning… I finally captured a Zebra Longwings butterfly! While not nearly as cooperative as the White Peacock I showed you a couple of weeks ago – from the modeling standpoint (sorry, I’ve got America’s Next Top Model on the brain…) – it at least stayed still long enough for this. The [...]

Nature Notes: The Sapodilla

I had kind of an interesting experience, the other day. I got home from work around 6:00 in the evening, and when I got out of my car, I walked past the Sapodilla tree we planted in the front yard a few years ago, and as I approached the front porch, a Mockingbird (okay, fine [...]

Ten Words

Lettergirl, who writes the awesome Not Going Postal, asked “What are your favorite 10 words and why?” Frankly, I think she’s looking to thin out her blogroll, and what better way to flush out the marginally unstable than to get someone to admit that one of their favorite words is “annihilation”. Or “barbecue”. But no, [...]

Nature Notes: The Cuban Anole Lizard

Have I ever shown you the Cuban Anole lizard? Another import from the island – probably a stowaway on cargo ships, back in the day – these guys can get to be about 18-24 inches long. More of an iguana, really. This is a mere youngster – probably no more than about 12 inches long. [...]

Nature Notes: The Longan Tree

I know this is going to sound odd, but I haven’t really noticed the front yard much, lately. Besides when the grass needs mowing. Which seems to be nearly all the time. I know, I know. I see it every day, leaving in the morning and coming home in the evening, but it’s not the [...]

Nature Notes: Tree Frog

Honestly, I don’t know what kind of tree frog this is. I checked, but the only photos I could find in sources like eNature.com and National Wildlife Federation’s Frogwatch, only show the top sides, not the underneath sides. Actually, this was a treat. I rarely see tree frogs around here. Mostly toads. It’s not that [...]
