A new friend

ME and the ADMIRAL(like i believe that!)

Well my mom got busy and made me a friend...here he is...he doesnt have a name either but he confidentially told me hes Admiral of the Savannah River fleet...but we dont even own a boat!! just a canoe!!! He told me that is what his gold star is for...cause hes an admiral...I am glad to have a friend BUT did she have to make one twice as big as i am??? Maybe one of those socks shes been saying ALL MORNING that shes going to paint will be a little short one like me...well i can always hope cant i?

She MIGHT have gotten them done if she hadnt been too busy hanging out on the back deck taking pics of that wierd bird that keeps roosting across the river...i mean YOU can BARELY see it in the pictures...She said she used to think it was an egret but since she saw that woodstork the other day now shes not so sure...WHY didnt she get out the binoculars and look...

ANd then she spent a whole big chunk of morning cooking DOG food for that pesty Jazz...I know shes sick but i really hope she gets those socks done soon so i can have a SHORT friend:|

And NOW shes blogging...WHEN is she gonna paint those socks?! Signed Veronica who is NOT an ugly stupid sock creature but a GORGEOUS hand dyed sock creature

all kinds of wild life...

yesterday i was either at the window or out on the backporch alot...and there were birds everywhere...i counted at least 1 blue heron and five white egrets flying buy...The egrets are roosting on a pile of sticks across the river...going to have to try again for a pic of them.....this is using max zoom on the camera...he was 300 yd away...


a jillion canadian geese acting like some one needs to feed them and their babies...they came 300 yd across the river when they spotted my neighbor...Kim was taking pics too..we decided that someone had been feeding the geese...not us...they will mess up your yard ..

this is the closest they have let the babies come so far....i feel like yelling duck for cover...the geese have seen you! hmmm looks like some of the bushes need to be cut back...but i found out that you should leave a buffer zone between your yard and waterways to keep chemicals like fertilizer out of the waterways...so at least we are doing that right...did you hear me neighbors...quit cleaning the banks;>
.and then there was the obliging motorboater who slowed down for pics...:> does this one count as wildlife on the savannah?

at some point i am going to combine the geese with the sycamore pic into one watercolor...thought i could put the geese right in river between the sycamore and the bamboo
