What Is It XXIV - Answers

#1 It is a Gray Tree Frog that was on my deck. It was hiding in the grill cover. Warren from England guessed frog first. He has a neat bird blog and the birds in England are so different then ours. Joan did guess it in an E-mail but gave some fun answers on my site. She had a neat plant from South Africa yesterday (Grandfather's Pipe, who knew). Don't you think he is a beauty. Check out the matching eyes.

#2 This is the Gray Squirrel in my back yard. Sara guessed this first and since she got the one below Mary noted it was a Gray Squirrel, she has them in her back yard. Mary has some Bald Eagles on a nest yesterday.
#3 This is an Alpaca from a farm near us. Sara said Llama but they are the smaller cousin. You can see the butt of a brown one and the feet of a black one. They have a shorter snout then a Llama. Glennis got the answer last night, she has a neat site from down-under.

Yes, it is the NBA league's MVP from the Cleveland Cavaliers which was announced Monday night. He is the Lebron James. He has led his team to the number one record for home field advantage. The Cavs are the only undefeated team in the play-offs so far. This is the first Cavs player to win the MVP and he was the number 2 in the MVP defensive player voting, quite a feat. He can fly 6' 8" 270 #. Congrats to Sara for getting it, she is from Ohio also. She has a neat photo site worth a visit.

My World #30

This is my posting for the My World Meme. It is hosted by Klaus, Ivar, Sandy, Wren, Louise and myself. Last week there were 125 people showing their world to us. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. Here is part of 'My World'.

The true sign of spring was found this morning. A new family of Canada Geese are starting to learn about Brady Lake. I had seen some posting further south but now the goslings are in my area. Proud papa on the left is keeping guard with his head held high.
Mom was really attentive to the little ones.

The goslings are learning "Excuse me Mom, I didn't see you standing there.
The little guy on the right is so cute. It looks like they see something interesting outside the frame. This is actually a different family. I saw four families total at three different bodies of water. Michele, I hope you enjoy an early look.
If you would have asked if we ever get Great White Egrets in our area I would have had to say absolutely (NO). So why at this pond did I see three Great White Egrets this morning? I guess I'm much more observant because of blogging and photography.

Having a camera gives you a greater appreciation of nature and all of a sudden things appear to you.

Today's Flowers #39

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 7 GMT is the post time.

Today I thought I would show the red tulip in my front porch bed. I thought it has a great inside. This shot focuses on the inside of the tulip. You can enlarge it for a better view.
This shot focuses on the outside of the tulip.

You can see a lot of great flowers at this meme.

Camera Critters #56

Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.

I saw a young buck behind the garden this week. You can see the horns starting to develop. I think it was the four point from last year, it may be a six pointer this year.
I see very little reason for it to stick out it's tongue but what can you do.
He knew I was there and I was holding my dog under leash. I could have gotten closer with-out him.

Sorry about the garden pole but I couldn't even see it while taking the photos.

He was a fine deer but finally he had enough and left.

I'm always thankful to see nature close by. This was a real treat. You can see others posts above.

Fun Photo Friday - From the Neighborhood

I thought I would show some fun shots I got in my area. My wife bought me a bird feeder because of my love of birds or should I say squirrel feeder. The squirrels seem to have adopted the feeder and are having some fun. I first had it near the deck but they would jump on the feeder from the deck. I moved it away so now they climb the pole and get on. This is one of the area Black Squirrels checking it out. This is a simple move for him, oh my aching back.
The Gray Squirrels are often here also taking a snack break. "Let's see, if I hang on with the back feet I can eat in comfort".
I have had a few real birds come to the feeder such as this female Cardinal. She giving me that "What are you looking at?" expression.

Here is another one that seemed to be having a bad hair day.

This is just down the street I found this. It is where a Chipmunk thinks the water drain is his personal hiding place.

These were some neighborhood fun shots this week. I hope you enjoyed the show.
