Squirrels

Posted on March 9, 2016 by cyetso

This one’s a bit out of shape regarding the lack of free food –

Devil squirrel

Or he’s the Devil Squirrel.
Either way, I’m staying clear.
And finding some peanuts for him, PRONTO! Before he gets angry.

Atonement

Posted on March 7, 2016 by cyetso

So, in an effort to make up for the Ostrich, Mother Nature made the Peacock –

All in favor say ‘I”; The eyes have it –

Good work Mother Nature. We’ll give you a pass on the Ostrich thing.

BAAAA

Posted on March 1, 2016 by cyetso

And in a real circle of life kind of way, I offer you this –

Newborn sheep! Twins, about an hour old. Photos don’t serve them well; Shooting through wire mesh in a dimly lit barn will do that. These two are not ready for primetime just yet, but these guys are –

This guy is 1 day old and in more interested in mom’s milk than posing for me and my silly camera. That’s why we have Lucy Legwarmers –

I have NO idea why they call her that, but she’s a good sport about the picture taking –

Although it is all a bit of work for a 1 week old sheep and sometimes you just gotta NAP –

Nicely done mama sheep.

And thanks Mother Nature, great timing.

Already do.

What are you looking at?

Posted on February 24, 2016 by cyetso

I certain that’s what he’s thinking –

He’s a Patas Monkey and that’s his spot.
I’ll also wager he thinks you are being quite rude staring at him. Furthermore, I think this may be why monkeys throw poop at you.

Good thing my lens has a better range than his throwing arm…

I could be wrong,

Posted on February 23, 2016 by cyetso

But I think they named a lake after this one?

Get it? Swan Lake? Sometimes I crack myself up.

I don’t even know if that’s a swan. But, it’s swan-like enough for me.

Next stop – VAUDEVILLE!!!!

SPRINGTIME!

Posted on February 22, 2016 by cyetso

Well, after having the wettest winter on record around here, it’s good to see that Spring didn’t just give up. Saw these on the way home from work today –

Spring is now officially here. For a while there we were getting worried about it.

Good work daffodils, you made my day.

If you’ve got the food

Posted on February 18, 2016 by cyetso

I’ve got the time –

Seagulls are great subjects. They’ll sit there, motionless, for forever, as long as they think you might have some morsel of food for them.

Sorry seagull, no food today. Maybe next time. Thanks for letting me take pix.

Dunno what it is

Posted on February 17, 2016 by cyetso

But it’s kinda cool –

Upon closer inspection, still don’t know what it is –

Whatever it’s name is, it’s kinda cool.

Thanks Mother Nature.
