One of my good friends at Lake Alexandra in Mittagong.

My husband and I took our first walk around a local park since moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma last spring. We met the most friendly squirrel.

This photo received a National Geographic Editor's Favorite.

We stopped along the way to photograph a beautiful scene with a horse in a meadow with a pond, but the friendly horse came trotting right up to us to pay a visit!!

HFF everyone!!

I've discovered that most Thai people like having their picture taken especially if you ask them nicely in Thai. Then you get a bigger smile and a wave because it is so unexpected!

This wee one was in the Dundee Howff graveyard yesterday.

Rough-legged Hawk was perched .. Red-tailed Hawk didn't like him there, little drama !

This little good girl followed me around when I was out with my camera till I took a picture of her.. she insisted. Least I can do is dedicate my ‘picture a day’ to her.

The squirrels were quite entertaining as they foraged in the year's first significant snowfall.

part of a heavy wrought-iron gate in the urban gardens ... a beautiful piece of craftsmanship ... I am admiring it every time I am there (I might show you the other, bigger part of it sometime later)

Do you see a friendly face with moustache here, too ?

Extremely humid day with several lenticular clouds. Palm Desert, Calif

Out and about one day not far from home, yet in the higher elevations, we heard a distinct call "tschick-adee" repeatedly. About the same time, we saw some flighty movement getting closer and closer to us. Eventually, we encountered the quite adorable juniper titmouse. Interestingly, this titmouse species was differentiated from the Plain titmouse (into Juniper and Oak) reflecting their distict habitat where they reside. Though I had never seen one before (that I'm aware of), I just knew what it was by its cute crest on its head. It was quite curious about us and posed for some time for me. :-)

While I've been a bit envious of my friends still living in FL with their images recently being shared of SHC colt babies, roseate spoonbills, and easier access burrowing owls, I have to remind myself of species like this that call Colorado home. So darned cute as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for stopping by to view. Happy weekend to all.
