2011 Project 365 – Week Seventeen




Wow – lots of pictures this week. Hope you enjoy them! (Yes, this is what I said last week. I think it’s safe to say that it will be this way until at least midsummer – it’s the drama of all the flowers & birds we can’t resist). 


Dr. M has a post today which is really hilarious - about a couple of "lovebirds" sitting on the bar above our swing. He really is a nut - you should definitely check it out. Who doesn't need to see fat doves making eyes at each other? Click here.

Here’s the weekly squirrel.


Cardinal.



This robin is really enjoying the cement pond.




Monday, April 18th
We have a lot of pictures for Monday. This is the first of what I’m sure will be many pictures of redwing blackbirds. Dr. M finds them fascinating. I love the contrast of the red & black.


Dr. M took flower pictures on his way home from school.





And I took a picture of one of the trees in the parking lot at work.


One of these things is not like the others… We were amused at the really large dandelion in this picture :)


Tuesday, April 19th
Dr. M got to paint a rock as part of his school’s Relay for Life campaign. He has named the rock George – I think he’s great!


Wednesday, April 20th
As you may be aware, we are sheep lovers in our household. I got the bright idea to put bunny ears on this one. I think it’s too cute!


Thursday, April 21st       
Continuing the bunny theme, my old boss at work dressed up as a bunny to promote a kid’s “Pictures with the Easter Bunny” fund-raiser they were having that evening. This is the State of the Bug – highly amused!


Dr. M took pictures of ducks at a park on his way home from school.


Friday, April 22nd  
Well, here we are again with the Tax Time Pig dressed as, guess what? A bunny! I don’t know how I missed this one last year.


Dr. M took some more flower pictures. Love love love tulips!

Saturday, April 23rd
Yesterday was a sad day in the Bug household. The power company came through & lopped off the tops of a couple of trees in our neighbors’ back yards. We’re just hoping that there were no nests in the trees. Here is a woodpecker wondering where the rest of his tree is.


Fortunately he found our next door neighbor’s suet to help soothe his anxiety. Wow, that’s what I use food for too!


Dr. M attended an awards luncheon at school on Thursday & won this award! He was nominated by another employee & the committee selected him as the winner. I think he is a most worthy recipient. He’s worked hard this year.

  5. I liked all of the photos, but of course, the sheep speaks to me. The red wing blackbird is gorgeous, and so is that woodpecker.

    You've way more flowers than we have right now. Today was gorgeous, but the rest of the week was so cold.

2024 Project 365 – Week Twelve

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
