Sunday Camera Critters #1

I just joined a group called Camera Critters who post pictures of animals every Sunday, but I still have to figure out how to link its logo to my sidebar. I do have it linked on "Other Interesting Blogs" so if you're curious, take a look.

This lovely parrot with a sassy vocabulary is our beloved Sadie who has been with us for 23 years. I found a program that allows photos to be attached to magazine covers, which is a hoot since some of my friends thought it was the real thing. My family and animals are indeed unique, but so far no national magazine has contacted us! Have a good Sunday everyone! Enjoy the coming week--stay safe!

More "wildlife"

The neighborhood in which I found this interesting little fella is the same one where I photographed the carved tree statue yesterday. The toad looks like it is a sprinkler; when the hose is attached it appears that water sprouts out of the top of his head. He is located in a beautifully landscaped small garden.

Another new neighbor!

This is nothing like our friend Abraham Lincoln's yard, but wildlife is finding hospitable surroundings close to our home. He's been feasting on our newly planted flowers. My other new neighbors have me worried since the birds haven't hatched, and I'm concerned about how the mother bird is incubating the eggs since she isn't there most of the time. I always thought the mother bird was supposed to sit on the nest all the time. Well, we'll see soon I hope.

Sadie

Sadie has been a member of our household for 22 years. She arrived as a gift to our son Karl when she was only a chick. When Karl moved out, guess who inherited her?! Birds are very social and very smart. She doesn't like too many people but she thinks I am pretty terrific. Occasionally she bites the hand who feeds her, but I told you she is smart--she prefers me to other family members with the exception of Karl.
