Incorporating Spring





I spotted several sparrows having a grand time eating these blossoms. The flowers certainly looked good enough to eat, and I almost wanted to try it myself.




After all, it's certainly a way to feel at one with the season.

Spring Unsprung




This morning I was a bit surprised by what greeted me outside my window, and I think the plants were a bit startled by it as well.



The animals that I saw on my walk to the Metro, however, seemed to be taking it in stride. Of course, their trills and warbles might well have been imprecations, but they sounded cheerful enough to me.

Flamingo Friday: Strange Straining




Imagine my surprise when I discovered these flamingos straining away at a muddy puddle far away from their nice heated pond full of food pellets and clean water.



I’m not sure if they actually found anything worth eating or if this was just an exercise for them—but they certainly went at it with a will.

You never know what you might find in unexpected places.

Flamingo Friday: Come On, Throw Your Wings Up




I've got the song "Jump Around" stuck in my head, but for the chorus, instead of the title words, I'm hearing, "Wing salute! Wing salute!"







"Wings up wings up and get down!"





(Oh, yeah: "I'm the cream of the crop-milk...")
