A Gilded Flicker woodpecker balances atop a towering saguaro, bathed in the soft glow of early morning. A lone bee drifts close to the creamy white blossoms, both visitors drawn by the promise of a sweet desert treat.
Several varieties of colorful lichen and a polytrichum moss compete for space on this portion of a decaying oak stump.

Mac could not understand why this other cat was on the January page or 2024 on this calendar! He thinks he would be a much better model! LOL!
Happy Caturday! First Caturday of 2024!
It was a tussle to get a photo of "Aquarium". This is the best shot and I should have used a flash.For this playful installation, artists Benedetto Bufalino and Benoit Deseille transform the famous telephone box by turning it into an aquarium full of exotic fish. By doing so, the French duo invite us to dream of travel and escape from our everyday lives.
This is my third and final entry into the Iron Forge second round, using wrenches and hammers as the seed part. I used them in the chairs, the steps, as the door handle, and as part of the power pole. This was a fun build, and I'm pretty proud of it. I hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

Yesterday I spent time at the "AllState"( Masssachusetts) track meet. The kids spirits were exuberant and highly contagious. The word competition was only part of it.. I didn`t know any participant personally, but found myself cheering them on. What a great bunch of kids !

The annual Sandsculpting Competition & Exhibition in Parksville, BC took place from July 12 -August 18, 2019. The photos were made on an overcast day July 30, 2019. For a full slideshow see www.normhamilton.ca/Blog-Tips-and-Tricks/n-HB3m3q/Blog-Po...
I must tell you this before we move on to matters which have occurred in the village recently.🏡🏡🏡
Just before the lockdown a gentleman knocked at the door to which Horace answered dressed in his butlers outfit (come on what’s strange about this, you would not want to see Horace in the buff) this gentleman asked Horace if he would like to make a donation towards a new community swimming pool being built in a neighbouring parish, so Horace scuttled off and returned with a glass of water.🚰💧🏊♂️🏊♀️
Where were we, yes as has been reported previously, our village is known for its community spirit, some residents have more spirit than others, it just depends on the size of their drinks cabinet.🍷🍷🍷
Though a small village there are many organisations within it, such as, the runner bean growing society, the ladies exhibition drinking team, and of course the newly formed botty coughing club who were going out on tour in 2020, so the lockdown has come as a bit of a blow to them.🍺🍷🍺💨💨💨
However, one of the newer organisations is the bee keeping club who’s Honorary Secretary is Tizzy Talskiddy a founder member of the exhibition drinking team, so as you can imagine, alcohol runs in her veins.🐝🐝🐝
Tizzy felt in these times of lockdown that of a Saturday evening, using the miracles of technology such as Skype, the bee keeping club could hold an on line yard of ale drinking competition (this could get messy)📡⌨️💻
Most members of the bee keeping club are quite extravert so it will come as no surprise they keep quite a few gallons of beer tucked away at home for a rainy day, so they had plenty of ammunition in order to participate in this event.😜🍺🍺🍺
You may be asking, what would be used for the yard glass, as luck would have it Nancy Nancarrow (of Reliant Robin fame) just happens to do a bit of glass blowing on the side and in recognition of the bee keeping club being set up, she made every member a yard glass and engraved their name into it.🚙🍹🍸
I can hear you all saying who would go first for timing purposes etc, well Agnes Penrose (Walter’s wife) had thought of this and had arranged for Horace’s dog Nipper to load up his wheelbarrow with tins of beer and deliver a can and place on each club members driveway.🐶
What the competitors had not realised was that Agnes had vigorously shaken one of the cans, everyone was asked to open their tins together on Skype, you guessed it whoever got sprayed in beer had to go first. 💦💦💦💦💦
You must all try this one night with your family and friends on line, it really is good fun and gets everyone revved up for the evening in these abnormal times.
“Mrs P have you put extra washing powder on the shopping list”.😂😂😂
I will leave you with this thought, Horace wants to do his bit in order to protect the ozone layer. He has decided to stop using spray on deodorant, and bought himself one of the old fashion deodorant sticks. He read the instructions which said “remove cap and push up bottom”.🙈
Thank you so much for looking at my photographs, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated. Take care and have a lovely weekend.
