The Backdoor Hippie's Ranchopalooza of Inconsistently Posted Images - 2013 Version

Cedar Waxwing in our Walnut tree. Some birds come to the feeders. Others, you need to look up to see, and these are one of those. There was a pair feeding each other, but I could never get a decent angle on them when they were together. At least I got these.

I am utterly amazed at the variety of critters that have intersected with our 1/2 acre of land here in NJ. We are truly blessed.

Blessed?.....or cursed?

 

[BackdoorArts]

Definitely blessed. Even the stuff other people normally curse for doing in their landscaping we welcome. We've learned not to plant things the deer will devour, keep a fence around the garden, and do a bit of "relocation" when necessary. Occasionally a field rat will piss us off for a while after we watch it kill a chipmunk, but hey, that's nature. Hakuna Matata, right?!

Mark Twain may have called golf, "A good walk, spoiled", but I'm guessing he never got up early enough and took his camera with him.

I love your early golf shots Jake!

Living next to a field we not only get the critters we like, but the occasional one we don't like. One of them is a rat that has taken residence either in our woodpile or somewhere under the deck ... or both. After we spread seed it makes the odd appearance. This dove, as best we could tell, was doing it's best Karate Kid impersonation in order to scare the rat away. Nature can make us laugh.

Another excellent shot!! You really take a lot of nice pictures.

 

[BackdoorArts]

Thanks, Grandpaw. Much appreciated.

Don't post one of your pics here and put it in the game...

 

[BackdoorArts]

Sorry man - spaced on it. Been dealing with a pile of stuff here and totally forgot I even posted there. My bad. Thanks for the reminder.

 

[BackdoorArts]

Taken care of!!
