Took this back in the spring while trucking through Indiana, just west of Indianapolis.

Happy Feathery Friday! Hope you have a great weekend! :-D

Entertaining myself in the backyard with last year's flower garden terrace leftovers.

Coneflowers are one of my favorite and they always remind me of firework.

Living in Northern Wisconsin surrounded by forest you need a "Back Yard Beauty" to use when you lose power which is quite often due to trees falling on power lines whenever you have a storm. It beats Going in the woods and sitting in 3 feet of snow to do your duty.

This is one of my favorite expressions. I think it's clever, funny and pretty accurate.... hahahaha

I've been planning this one for a while now. I couldn't find the exact plants I wanted but at least this telephone is amazing! Thanks Dad for another great prop!!!

I had a meeting downtown so I headed early to do some street photography. This guy is watering the bushes and I don’t think he’s homeless based on his expensive jacket, backpack and he even had a water bottle in his pack.

Nature calling

I was desperate and the diuretics were working well this particular day – not that there was a shortage of bushes or trees to hide in. But then I almost stumbled across this ‘wee’ house. What a wonderful surprise – there in the woods and so beautifully draped with ornaments and knick-knacks, spotlessly clean. I could have sat there for hours (with the door shut of course) listening to the chirping of the birds, the rustling of wind through the trees and the odd sheep bleating in the distance.

In Wales we call this the Ty bach ….. any of my Scottish friends know the Gaelic word/s ?? .... [http://www.flickr.com/photos/scoonie] says "Wee cludgie"

If you have chance - look in 'large' to see some of the knickknacks the lady who owned this little house had put around the place.

Book Banning is such an awful thing,... parents who want to care for their kids challenge books and then... they perhaps ar banned... Banned Book week is a great celebration... celebrate freedom of speech and press is what they want to say... and these parents who "care" for their kids i cant understand them... they let them watch tvtvtv and play violent videogames but books shall be difficult? weird ^^

Contorted tushy, tail high up in the air, leaning over the edge . . . Guess what Bei's doing? ☺

After going poo-poo at one side of the rock wall, Mei moved over a few feet to pee; all the better for keepers to collect samples

Look at all of the leftover biscuits and carrot pieces on the floor

Papa Tian's late night hammock time, when he thought no one would be watching the panda cam

1-3: Papa Tian playing with his treat spool on his hammock; 4-6: Papa Tian lying down on his hammock while still playing with his treat spool; 7: Oh my gosh! Papa Tian has fallen asleep on his hammock!!; 8: After a quick leg shift, Papa Tian falls back to sleep on his comfy hammock for nearly 4 minutes; 9: Papa is awake for more treat spool play and gnawing; 10-11: Papa Tian is serious about biting on the treat spool; 12: Time for Papa to have a "zen" moment after tiring from a long play/gnaw session; 13: Where are you going, Papa?; 14: Oh, never mind, you have a nature call to answer

Tushy backed up into the corner, tushy lowered to the floor . . . Guess what Papa Tian's doing? ☺

Bei going potty in the corner, just like his Papa!

in front of my neighbour's yard

she's a little insane:

when i took this pic, she was raking.

I just said: "Hello!" (xtra Loudly ;-)

and what did she reply: nothing, (i mean she was silent not that you mean she said "nothing" ;-)

she just was staring at me as though i was a alien...

crazy, dude!

When you need to go, you need to go.

This summer's generation is quite healthy. Huge web, wrapped insects, and a sunny disposition.

Guess what Papa's doing?
