 With it being tax season, my time is very limited here on the vine but I got a few shots to post, so I don't forget how :)

Thanks 58rose!!!

Thanks AMac for getting me to pay attention to moving water!

The rain finally went away!

A new "house" being built and blocking the view of the river.

The roosters are bad enough, but now these guys have move in.

Quince bush in Sepia.

Dare these are lovely. Your Dove friend is so sweet. And I think the baby blossom is a great picture. What kind of birds are those? Wow! Huge new house! Looks like they're gonna have a good view though:) These are very nice Dare!

Thanks Anna! I think the birds are Guinies, the people down the road have wild range roosters and chickens that roam all over the place. I came home the other day and these fellows were in the middle of the road, it took about 5 minutes for them to move because they kept walking in front of the car, and they are loud when they get going, lol.

Yeah, that "house" is a monster and the folks around them are none to thrilled to have their view interupted.

Those birds are huge!! Guess they don't know why they're trying to cross the road and even if they are. :) I have never seen them before. Very interesting critters.

I wanted to walk down and take shots from the lakefront so I could see the front of the house but there were workers there so I didn't, maybe next time!

I'm glad you're doing well, hopefully it's a small elephant :)

Hi DTH - Our car is getting old like me lol. She's my pride and joy - 2001 Hyundai Elantra. She was the first car I have ever chosen and bought on my own! Anyhew her radiator has sprung a small leak so we need to replace it, hoses, air filter and battery (the same battery from when I bought her is in the car!). The repairs aren't real expensive and all we have to do is get the parts and hubbys dad knows how to do repairs.

Thanks for stopping by Angela. We have not had winter yet, it's 65 outside right now, surely we will have some cold weather! Everything is confused about what time of year it is and is in bloom? I like that dove shot too, it was just a peaceful feeling seeing him out there for so long, I had to get the camera :)

Oh goodness guinea fowl. We used to have them here but we sold them all. They do eat ticks though.

Nice dove image DTH.

Thanks Vlad's, are they good for anything other than eating ticks? They're noisy fellas, lol. Last year I had someones chicken laying eggs in the carport and she had about 6 babies following her around already. The roosters don't know what time it is ......ever.....they crow night and day. Now we have the guinea fowls going the chorus, LMAO!
