    squirrel tail injury growing back leanne wildermuth
    Our squirrel with the tail injury is doing just fine.
    He’s got a fuzzy nub.

    Northern Flickers, when eating ants out of anthills on the side of the road, need to come up for air.

    maiden pinks flowers leanne wildermuth

    Maiden Pinks are really prettier than I thought. And also take up more space.

    wild mushrooms leanne wildermuth

    Wild mushrooms can disappear overnight.
    Appreciate their beauty, before they’re gone.

    Our Quaker parrot, Quintin, enjoys my Gerbera Daisies, and also?
    He’s cute in his little green parrot pants.

    Speaking of little and green, bugs can be cute, too.

    Awww… Love the parrot green pants *shuckles* AND love, love the lovely bug! Gosh! Such pro-shot’s you take girrrl!

    Oh, maybe I should practice some more photo shooting to at least get somewhere – sometimes by accident I’m sure (lol)- near your kind of photos…… Yet lightning years behind you!

    what’s the story behind the squirrel? Did you know that mammals can live just fine w/o their tails? I learned that on Emergency Vets. LOL! I had a gerbil who suffered a tail injury…he was just fine until he spent the night at my friend’s house and got smashed. 🙁

    Great pictures! More of my front garden is in bloom and it looks so much more colorful out there!

    Wonderful pics! I got a kick out of Quintin’s britches; still amazing to me how little bird chicks have those huge elastic beaks until they don’t.

    Your photos are always gorgeous Leanne! My favorites are the ‘maiden pinks’ and the ‘little green bug on the iris’! They are simply stunning!!

    Glad to here the squirrel has healed!

    Renee – he started coming by a couple of months ago with a “naked” tail, so we’re happy to see it healing and that he’s getting around okay. We’ve heard that squirrels sometimes die without their tails because they use them for communication and balance. 🙂

    Rae – just kept shooting while he fed them, and happened to catch the burst. Lucky shot, it is – I wanted to get the babies AND dad – and there they are! :friends:

    Thanks, Aithne! We don’t know how he lost his tail, but we’re glad to see it healing!

    (yes I keep a good collection of smileys. In case anyone should ever run out of words.)

    Cindy, thank you! And thanks for noticing that bug is on an iris – I wondered if anyone would get what that was, seeing that it’s spent!
