Paying for Food on Wednesday 04-06-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Wednesday.  Have you ever noticed how there's a price to be paid for everything?  There is very little that is ever "free".  And food, well, we must have that so we gladly, or sometimes reluctantly, pay.  Well, in my yard, I make sure my birds have a nice feeder and food.  Then, they pay me by letting me take pictures.  I collect payment as often as possible, too.  :)    I don't think they mind.  Sometimes it's as if they are posing for me.

I hope you had a good day and your food was worth your money - or photo - or whatever your payment.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Hungry Stare on Wednesday 02-17-16

Hello and happy Wednesday.  This female cardinal seems to be saying, "I'm cold, I'm wet, I'm looking at you and I'm hungry!"  Yes, even in the rain they must find food for themselves and the family, if they have one.  Luckily for this little lady I keep bird seed on hand.  Unfortunately, when it rains, the food in the feeder gets wet, too.  Since the squirrels like bird food as well, I may need to get a squirrel baffle and I think that may keep the food dry when it rains.  We shall see.  If not I keep a dry supply of bird seed on hand and will think of a solution soon.  I love the birds that visit my house.  I also like the squirrels, but there's another solution to keep them happy.

I hope you had a wonderful and dry Wednesday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Flying by Thursday

Happy Thursday.  Today I have a seagull for you.  There was a time I only saw seagulls at or near the beach.  This is not the case anymore.  This flighty bird was digitally captured in a parking lot far from the sea.  Apparently they will fly anywhere for food.  I can understand.  I work for food too.
And I have been known to travel far distances for the same.  I guess this bird and I are a lot alike; except that the only place I can actually fly is in my mind.

I hope you had an exceptional Thursday!  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
