Among Friends

[ECBG]

We have company!  They must have stayed in the high grasses during the hard rain last week.  He'll leave, she will go into the grasses for a month, then we'll have ducklings!

You couldn't have better company. They're beautiful. Love it.

Ah, Mr & Mrs. Mallard.  A family will soon follow.

I had 2 pairs of quail in my front yard this morning, double dating.  They too will soon be followed by a covy of cute, fluffy babies.

The first bushes are just beginning to green up.  You probably saw the water is down.  We're due for rain tomorrow.

There must be something in the air.

I told you guys how I have all of these cameras around my house (inside and outside).

Every day I just automatically delete the video from them because it's either deer, birds, squirrels, etc.

Welllastweek there were only 3 pictures on a camera on my back railing.

I glanced at it and it was one squirrel doing some weird dance.  Then I clicked on number 2 and one squirrel was busy getting very busy with the other squirrel.  Video number 3 show him (after getting bus) putting his arms around her as if he was giving her a hug.

It was so sweet.  I felt like a voyeur.  I quickly deleted all 3 of them.

Then I remembered what a pain in the neck they are.  

Guess there'll be some baby squirrels soon on the back porch chasing away the birds.

Ain't Mother Nature grand!  HA!🤪

How beautiful @ECBG!

We had a family of ducks-they had their babies under the nearest bush to our house and later let me put them in a baby bath. They visited us every day. They were wonderful!💗
