Verna was taking pictures of a cactus next to the RV drive while I was up on the hill taking a picture of her. I combined my photo of her and her photo of a cholla into the animation above. Roll your mouse over the image to see the other one. Roll out to go back.
We bought a couple of thistle seed finch feeders at the local discount department store today. The old system of thistle socks (like the one in the middle) was becoming a hassle, with the birds pecking holes in them making them almost useless. We were throwing several away each week.
I filled the new feeders and Bob took them up on the hill. Shortly after that, the finches were busy feeding. When the feed sock in the middle is empty, we will retire it. Click on the image to enlarge.
Last evening, a herd of six to seven javelina stopped by to browse around our wash and backyard. Fortunately, they don’t eat the rosemary that we have planted for ground cover along the RV drive. Click on the image to enlarge.
He has been with us for about a year and a half now, and we love him more every day. Happy birthday, Bay Bay! Click on the image to enlarge.
Every so often, Verna declares a “Verna Day,” when she pampers herself with a hot shower, facial, shampoo and the works. Well, today I was up on the hill at the bird feeders when I took this photo of Verna letting her hair dry in the warm Arizona sun. Click on the image to enlarge.
