I have several bird feeders around my house. Their main purpose is to, obviously, feed the birds. But they also entertain my cats.
One of the bird feeders is in the shape of a little swing and recently, I happened to look out my kitchen window at just the right moment and spotted this…
A dove taking a break.
I find it cute how this pudgy little dove is perched on one side of the swing like it’s waiting for another to join it.
Until next time…

On a recent hike, I stumbled across a tree that had a spot hollowed out. Something about the size and shape of the hollow got me thinking…
It’d be a perfect place for Link to hide…
Sometimes you gotta ambush your enemies and what better way to do it than from above, from the hollow of a tree?
Until next time…

Though it’s becoming less rare for me to catch a glimpse of a bald eagle in the wild while I’m out hiking, I’m still awed each time I see one.
Recently, I went hiking/snowshoeing at the Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge in Steuben, Maine. The trail I was on, the Birch Point Trail, has some sad memories attached to it but I won’t get into that. At the point on the trail that comes out to the bay, there’s a small island where eagles are known to nest.
While I was relieving myself of my pack and getting ready to enjoy my lunch, I heard the call of an eagle and decided to see if I could spot him or her. The tide was in at the time so I couldn’t venture out onto the rocks, but I did manage to spot the eagle in its nest out on the island.
I managed to get several shots though I only wish the camera I use while hiking zoomed in further and took better quality photographs when zoomed in.
Anyway, here’s one of the shots I got of the eagle…
Until next time…

Not only is my youngest cat spoiled rotten (she even has me trained now that when she’s ready to take a nap, she wants me to follow her and tuck her in like a child [^_^]), but she’s a bit of a thief…
She’s:
* A spot thief (which I established before, both my cats steal my seat whenever I get up).
* A food thief (if I let her, or don’t catch her in time, she’ll eat the canned cat food my older cat doesn’t finish).
* A blanket hog (self explanatory).
* And she even steals stuffed animals to cuddle…
Why do I let her get away with all of it? Well, she’s just way too cute!
Proof…
Apparently that’s no longer my Domo doll…
Until next time…

A while ago I went hiking at the nearby state park and I happened to see the most random thing…
There was this squirrel chattering in a tree not too far from the trail I was on. That’s not random but what it did, was… And it was hilarious!
It hung from the side of the tree by its hind feet (paws?), stretched out, and waived its arms around in the air like it was swimming! I wish I’d caught it on video but I only managed to snap a photo before it stopped and scampered off.
Keep an eye out for wildlife when you’re out in nature folks, sometimes they do some funny stuff!
Until next time…
