GOD's Amazing Creatures~bunnies and birdies, Oh My

Hi Everyone!

So, how is your week going?

Me, well I have been kinda under the weather...but

plugging along..allergy season seems to be in full

swing and I feel it!!!

As my hubby and I often do in the evening, we sit on our

little deck that leads out to our patio.  Many times we are

blessed to sit and watch the birds, bunnies and hummers

move around us giving us our evening entertainment.

So last night when my kitty kept wanting to wander over to our

bushes much to my surprise was this tiny lil bunny baby

frozen just under ou ivy bush.  You almost cannot see him.

  The baby hardy moved and I

actually got within 3 feet to take this picture.

Soon afterward it must have tried to go find its momma

cause our Tiger wanted sooooo badly to go over  to this area.

Isn't this just the MOST adorable baby bunny?

As you can see from below, I took a wider view of

where we sit. 

We came back from my parents in June just

mesmerized by their hummingbird feeders.  And hubby

and I went and purchased this one within days of returning.

Do you see my birdbath? Well Tiger has claimed this

as his seat...lol.



What is so amazing to us is that you can see how close this bird bath is,

and Tiger often goes right to the birdbath to sit

and the hummers just flit around him and he seems so

oblivious to them. 

What facinating creatures hummingbirds are.  They flit,

fight, dash and make a unique clicking sound.  We probably

have 3-5 that are regulars throughout the day.

I found out through checking on the internet that you can make

your own nectar...its 1 parts sugar to 4 parts water...

or

1 cup of sugar to 4 cups of filters water.

Bring this to a boil and then take off the heat.  It must boil

as that releases and gets rid of any trace minerals etc.

Once this cools I keep it in the fridge.

(Sorry about how fuzzy these pix are)..

As we have been watching our Hummers,

we think we may have 2 or 3

different species...Ruby Red Necks, All green

 with a white chest...and then I think we have seen one

that may be more brown..names I am not sure of.

They are the funniest things to watch...as they flit and

at times you can get one that becomes very territorial and will

come dipping at one that may be trying to feed.  Often

when this happens you can see them flitting up and all around.

More fun pix...

A few weeks back I caught these two bunnies romping

and playing in our neighbors yard.  I was so amazed that

I actually got shots that show them hoping and playing.

see? too cute!!!

I finding this all so interesting as we live in the burbs.

Yet really close to fields...never have I lived anywhere and

seen these amazing creatures like we have this past

summer.  I love that life goes on outside of our 4 walls.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Do you have sweet lil creatures that you see

come out to play in the evenings?

I'd love to hear your stories!

Be Blessed,
