Poor Henry. Every time he needs to see the vet, we take him to see space aliens instead. First thing they do is abduct him from the waiting room, take him into the back, and stick something up his anus!
Physical Fitness
Years ago, I read that a good short-hand physical fitness test for senior citizens is “Can you get up off the floor by yourself, unaided?” It struck me as funny at the time.
With each passing year, it gets less funny.
Black Skimmers
They may look a little goofy standing around on the ground.
The image of elegance in flight.
Cold and breezy the last couple days
Beautiful and 85 today. Cold again tomorrow and the rest of the week. But not as cold as everywhere else!
The last time we saw Freddy.
Little eyeball peeking over the edge. Ten days ago.
We wonder if he’ll remember us when the weather gets hot again.
Common Gallinule
It used to be called a Moorhen before its name got updated.
It’s like a Coot, but more colorful.
And a baby Gallinule.
Not showy like it’s parents, but good looking in its own right.
