Random shots…..

The garden has been ignored for long enough.
Overgrown and weedy.
That’s being kind…..
The weather has been delightful.

Time to get up off my !@#$ and do something.


      Sooooo…..
             ……with clippers,machete and camera in hand I set out to something about this mess…..

but I got distracted by the photo opportunities…..

The GreatWall's Day Off

With apologies to Ferris Bueller,but we called in sick today("I was up all night sick as a dog.").If people up north can have snow days,I think those of us,in Florida,should have "perfect Spring days."It's just so much more fun to stay home on a day like today,than to sit in some office with no windows.
Why shouldn't we be able to stay home and just relax,look around the garden,and enjoy all the hard work we've put in to getting it back in shape,after the cold and freezes of this past winter?
And it's way more fun to watch the back-yard visitors that we had,today,than to sit in front of a computer in a windowless office,don't you think?


A Red-Shouldered Hawk on our neighbors dock Debate is ongoing if this is a juvenile female Cardinal,or some type of wild parakeet.Thoughts anyone?Bueller,Bueller....?
Tufted Titmouse.
(Feel free to jump in,at anytime,and help us out on the identification,people.)

Pileated Woodpecker
(he just refused to give me his good side!)


Squirrel

I'm thinking we need a bird identification book......Any recommendations on a good one?
So,that was our day,at The GreatWall of Lutz.Tomorrow,back to work.Playtime is over.Insert wailing smiley here.
