WET WEBS

I would love to take the credit for this set of pictures but alas I can't as these were taken by my mate Peter Parrott, or 'Big Pete' as he's known. People who have known Peter for years do not realise what a good photographer he is... he always draws and paints to a high standard as well. I do not see as much of Peter as I used to, but my son sees him now and then and says's that he seems to be doing well...Peter worries me as at times he will set up a tent and live rough for a while... it could be winter or summer it dose not matter, if Pete feels pressure he retreats to the woods.

I hope you enjoyed these, I did

Remembering Hazel

This Grey Squirrel found its way into our garden over 3 years ago now, withing a week I had it tamed, and named her Hazel. She would sit on my chair or knee and take food from my hand.

As friendly and tame as it was I kept in mind it was a wild creature that had very sharp teeth, and was feeding from me because food was thin on the ground in late winter.

Hazel would turn up for food and knock on the window to be let in or fed.... visitors to the house would find this very amusing. She went on to have a litter of young that first year. and the same the year after. Last year she was looking in very poor condition and started to lose her fur..

I have not seen her since and know that she would have died last spring. Today I was in the kitchen washing up ( I hope you read this Jane ) when I caught sight of another squirrel eating currents and chopped nuts I had put out. I will not be trying to tame this one, but will try to encourage it to feed around here as they make a good subject to take pictures of.

Enjoy The Weekend

The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a true friend. The yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship which I share with all my blog friends far and wide.
