Setting Up House
My parents have a couple of blue bird houses set up on their property here in Catawba, South Carolina. Meet the new Blue Bird residents of this house….they have built their nest and laid some eggs. They will soon have four children ~ possibly more before all is said and done. This morning was spent lounging around the human house…..a very relaxing morning. Later, we went to the movies and saw “The Bounty Hunter” with Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston. It wasn’t a bad movie ~ kind of cute with some funny moments, but I have to agree with my father ~ they took a 30 minute story and stretched it out over an hour…

Disappointed
We drove over to Lancaster in search of their almost 200 year old courthouse ~ which by the way was the last location a witch trial was held in the United States ~ but it had massive construction going on all around it, and on the building itself. It had been damaged by a fire not so long ago and repair work was well under way as well as the construction of another very large building right next door. I didn’t even stop to take a photo because it would have been disappointing ~ so I’m sharing a photo from our hike at Landsford Canal State Park with you today. This is a…

Scenes From Our Hike
Today we went shopping and out to eat in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has been a long day so I’m going to feature a couple of photos from our hike yesterday……. We had just been talking about the lack of any bird or squirrel’s nests in the area and decided it was because the eagles nest was in these woods. Not too long after that, we noticed a rather ragged looking squirrels nest….which turned out to be not so far from the eagles nest. Once we saw the proximity of the squirrels nest to the eagles….we figured out why it was so ragged looking….possibly ravaged by the eagle searching for…

Outside My Window ~ 4.04.10
Outside My Window…the sun is setting on my parents house in Catawba, South Carolina. It was a wonderful day….temps were in the mid 80’s, blue skies and sunshine. I am thinking…how I hope everyone had a wonderful day today……and a Happy Easter! I am thankful for…many things come to mind, but right now I’m thankful for the opportunity to be able to come and stay with my parents. There was a time when they lived quite far away (Saudi Arabia being the greatest distance) and I was not able to see them as often as I would have liked. The fact they are living so much closer now is wonderful! 🙂 From the…

Relax
We arrived safe and sound….an uneventful trip that seemed shorter than the hours we traveled. This is the message above the whirlpool tub in my extra large bathroom off of my extra large bedroom taken at sunrise today….. ….and for the next 7 days, this is exactly what I will be doing. 8)

Kaniki ~ Guardian of the Garden
This is Kaniki….he is my Guardian of the Garden. He sits by the tree day in and day out….watching. Recently, I thought Kaniki could use a little shade…….so I picked him up a mushroom. Kaniki said life is good…he is much happier now. 🙂

She Smiled At Me
Monday…. Very rainy and cloudy…. No hope…. Too many clouds…. I knew she was up there…. Full and beautiful… “Wait” she said…. The clouds parted…. And she smiled at me……

Green Eyes
My neighbors cat doesn’t like cameras. The cat will come up to you, rub on your legs and even let you pet it. Pull out a camera ~ she is gone. I snuck around the corner one day and got this image with my zoom lens through the fence……she never knew. 🙂
