Jack visited the farm today on his daily walk, and posed for a few photos. The goats were out and about and were a bit of a distraction, but a treat helped keep him focused.

After the evening meal, Ray and I took a walk over the fields aka Knowle Park. We soon saw, coming towards us, Jack and his pet albino rescue ferret Skye. Like all albino ferrets, Skye is blind but I guess there are other reasons why he is on a lead for the evening constitutional, such as his 'hyper-mobility.'
Skye lives in a large cage in the family back garden, his extra thick coat, when winter comes, permitting him to be out in all seasons. He likes to eat raw meat, in particular chicken.
Jack has owned rescue ferrets before and obviously knows and understands their habits and lifestyle.
The last day of October and what a day with the sun streaming into the conservatory. Jack our Cat was flat out on the sofa. In 2007 Pat found this feral laid in the road in Kikinear SW Scotland after being knocked down by a car.After taking him to the Vets and a operation she brought him home and 11 years later here he is! Not sure how old he is but you can see the grey on the end of the tail and his white whiskers.

Jack Frost (brunnera) plants growing under a forest canopy.
In one section of the garden we occasionally visit to make photographs, there is a small grove of (mostly) dogwood trees which are, themselves, in an area shaded by larger trees. These dogwoods were done blooming when we visited, but they provided wonderful, deep shade to smaller plants growing on the ground beneath.
All sorts of interesting stuff grows in this shade, but on this visit I was mostly attracted to leaves. (Most of the flowers were already spent.) This clump of Jack Frost seemed downright lush, with not a damaged leaf in sight.

Spring-heeled Jack is an entity in English folklore of the Victorian era. The first claimed sighting of Spring-heeled Jack was in 1837. Later sightings were reported all over Great Britain and were especially prevalent in suburban London, the Midlands and Scotland.
There are many theories about the nature and identity of Spring-heeled Jack. This urban legend was very popular in its time, due to the tales of his bizarre appearance and ability to make extraordinary leaps, to the point that he became the topic of several works of fiction.
Spring-heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". One report claimed that, beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oilskin. Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect. Others said he was tall and thin, with the appearance of a gentleman. Several reports mention that he could breathe out blue and white flames and that he wore sharp metallic claws at his fingertips.

Jack is a rescue tabby cat, who has been with us nearly ten years, and is coming up to his tenth birthday !
I have spent quite a bit of time during this lockdown trying to find and photograph Jack Snipe. Yesterday there was 10cm of snow in the morning and I walked to the Jack Snipe flush to find that the warm, flowing water had thawed a few tiny patches where I managed to find a Jack Snipe trying desperately to hide. Its scientific name is Lymnocryptes minimus which translates as "smallest marsh-hider" which is beautifully apt. By this time the snow had turned to drizzle and if you look carefully on its head you can see some tiny droplets of water. I was really quite close by the time I managed to find an unimpeded view of its face but it never moved a muscle, instead it relied on its excellent camouflage to try to avoid detection.
There are about twenty species of Snipe in the world and Jack Snipe is the smallest, and the only one that does not have a pale stripe down the centre of its crown. You can see here that its crown is dark with a diagnostic "split" eyebrow (supercilium).
When sliced open, jack fruit has rows of seed pods, each pod is a succulent mouth full that's slightly chewy with a hard seed in the middle that readily separates from the edible part.
Jack-in-the-Box's Rose Parade float, "Jack's Samba Carnival," features street dancers and 15-foot-tall puppets. It was, by far, the most animated of the floats this year.
I’ll be heading up here to Three Fingered Jack this weekend. I was going to give the aerial photo series a break for a while but couldn’t resit this final post after it inspired my backpacking destination. It’s a new location for me so should be an adventure. I hope to find some new pictures up there. And I’ll probably have a few more aerial shots to add eventually too.
Yet another shot from Jack Rabbit Trail in the Moreno Valley, CA badlands. I think I like this better than the other shot. The God beams are nice and I also like the rolling green hills. This will probably be the last one of these for a while. You should view this one LARGE. I uploaded a 1280px version rather than my usual 1024px. The details are pretty nice!

Jack's culture on his staff infection in his leg has been negative for 3 days which is great and yesterday they took a spinal tap and found that his white blood count was really high, so they started treating that for menangitis, but so far that... culture has come back negative too. Could have just been high cause of the infection.
I got to the hospital today and was surprised as I got to give him a bath. And I got a great surprise, he had passed some stool into his diaper which is AWESOME as it's being collected in his colostomy bag right now. Found out tonight also that he had pulled his feeding tube out far enough to where he was having to swallow the milk and he did great, no episodes :) He's growing up before my eyes!!! All the nurses can't believe how big he's gotten in 7 weeks and they all just love him so much they still fight over who's gonna get him
Had to do a double taken when I spotted this Jack Snipe handing around our wheelie bin during the recent snow storms. I had to sneak around the house and lie down behind my car to get eye level with this fantastic bird. Nature is full of surprises!
Based off the design of Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians I made this photo as a Christmas present for one of my siblings.

I hope you guys like it too! :)
One of the two windmills at Clayton in Sussex. This one is called Jack the other one which is behind the trees is called Jill, It`s hard to get an original composition as I have shot this on a number of occasions as I used to work in nearby Burgess Hill so when conditions were good I was able to stop off on my way home for some shot.
This is my last posting for ten days or so, I`m off to North Devon in the Morning for a week then a few days on the Jurassic Coast before coming home so i`ll see you on the other side , take care everyone

Jack o’ lanterns are associated with Halloween. Some are scary, some are funny… Mine? It’s up to you to decide if it is scary enough for you. Of course, being that small it may not impress much. But perhaps you are scared of spiders? Take a closer look!

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
Day 336 of 365
So for the first time this winter we have snow in the forecast, which means we probably won't get any. Unlike most Baltimoreans, I actually hope for and want snow. My vehicle doesn't have a problem in it and I love the white stuff. If any appears it will probably just be some flurries that wont stick. It is promising for a whiter winter though. Usually, here in my part of Maryland we don't see any real snow until after the new year.
Of course this is good news for the grocery stores. here in Baltimore even the mention of snow throws most into a frenzy and they hit the grocery stores buying up all the milk, toilet paper and bread that they can. I've never really understood this behavior. In Maryland I've never seen so much snow that I've been stuck in the house more than a few hours due to snow, a day at the max and never have I found myself dependent on bread, milk and toilet paper for my continued survival. If I was living in Montana or something I might understand it, but it makes no sense in Baltimore. In Baltimore it's just a bit silly.

The jack snipe is a small wading bird, similar to the more familiar common snipe. Unlike their common cousins, jack snipe are just winter visitors to the UK, spending the summer breeding on waterlogged bogs in northern Europe.
Jack snipe are secretive birds, often hidden in thick vegetation on marshes, wet grassland and in reedbeds. They use their long bill to probe the mud for insects, worms and even plant material, moving in a slight crouch and constantly bouncing up and down as if their legs were made of springs.
