CFFC: Animals

Cee Neuner’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Animals, a challenge I can do from my very own backyard. Sometimes these creatures are just as entertaining and endearing to watch as the ones at the zoo. I could probably say the same about some of my neighbours.

In April and May, I shared a few of my critters: pretty dragonflies, a pretty territorial carpenter bee, lovebirds Mr & Mrs Cardinal, and the crew at Easter Brunch. Of course, there’s also the gang of squirrels who have terrorized my neighbourhood for years!

Earlier this year, I shared space with a confident bunny…

…who decided my lilac tree provided the best shade for an afternoon nap!

Every time I saw my bunny, I’d start singing Veggie Tales “Bunny Song” from the DVD, Rack, Shack & Benny! It’s a fun song, but also an ear worm! And here it goes again…

“Why is it that I can remember a cigarette ad jingle from 30 years ago, but I can’t remember what I just got up to do?”

Happy Wednesday!

Laurel & Hardy. Lucy & Ethel. Laverne & Shirley. Shaggy & Scooby-Doo.

All comedic classic duos that captured our hears and made a lasting impression.

I have 2 more…teen squirrels. A couple of red-headed, thundering scamps whose adorable cuteness make your heart melt (so that you overlook the poop). As each day passes, these rascals are exploring their world more and more. They can hang upside from the brick and swing from my chair like nobody’s business, and my clothespins have never tasted so good.

We’re not sure 100% if there are 2 or 3 teens, or if Mama has finally lost her baby belly and she’s joining in the fun, but they sure are entertaining!

Poor Shantzy…I share your sadness. It’s windy and snowy…and gray again.

But cheer up, little one. Christmas is coming, and there’s sure to be something under the tree from your owner, just for you.

Happy Thursday!

With winter upon us, our fence, the usual highway and place to perch for a scenic view, for our local red squirrel, gets loaded. So I’ve noticed him (or her) snacking on the porch railing instead. Maybe he’s trying to make time with my little pony. Even though I’m quite certain he’s the cheeky fellow who ate my chocolate treats and my chair cushion…and stole my underwear, he’s still cute.

The red squirrel is more common and less dignified than the gray, and oftener guilty of petty larceny about the barns and grain-fields. – John Burroughs
