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.
Caribou Jack's BBQ is inside a hardware store in Soda Springs, Idaho. Their billboard in the bed of this old Dodge pickup could use an upgrade.

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.

Jack is a rescue tabby cat, who has been with us nearly ten years, and is coming up to his tenth birthday !
There are twenty one species of Snipe around the world and Jack Snipe is the smallest. It is also the only Snipe that does not have a pale central crown stripe as you can see here its centre crown is dark. Here's a Common Snipe showing its pale central crown stripe: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/51422047362/in/photolist If you'd have asked me three years ago which British bird I would most like to photograph I'd have said Jack Snipe without hesitation. Not because they are amazingly photogenic, but because they are amazingly elusive. I have probably seen thousands of Common Snipes but my Jack Snipe sightings I can only count in tens. Though in the last three years I have had a run of extremely good luck with Jack Snipes and have managed several unobscured captures of this bird that normally sits tight among dense vegetation. They breed on bogs in Russia and northern Fennoscandia but migrate south and west in autumn. An unknown number winter in Britain as their elusive nature makes them notoriously difficult to census. Common Snipe will often take flight as soon as anyone sets foot in their marshy habitat, making a call like tearing cloth as they do so. But Jack Snipe will sit tight until they are almost trodden upon, then will rise inconspicuously and silently. This individual splashed down in the middle of a small, garden pond at Spurn having just flown across the North Sea. It moved around trying to find somewhere to hide and feed, and occasionally revealed itself in full view like this, though you can see that my window of view was narrow. I think this is my only photograph of one standing "at ease" as my others are usually crouching/cowering, or walking.
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.
This is one of Jack Frost's fabulous artworks from 2016. He would create inspirational imagery on our conservatory roof regularly in winter time. This present winter though hasn't been cold enough for Jack and we feel deprived of his fantastic displays. Perhaps this month and February might offer him more ideal conditions but with Climate Change really getting established now, I rather doubt it. I absolutely LOVED this creation which suggests a beautiful spreading tree under which is a meadow of swaying flowers.
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
