The Bird Feeder

We have bird feeders all around our home. Love watching the birds come and go. I keep saying to myself that I should do some pictures. This morning as I was loading my gear into the car I noticed the activity on this feeder just outside my mother-in-law's window.

I think the birds are wrens. They are really cute little guys. I opened the trunk and got a camera and the 300 and started trying to get close to them. They flew away when I started to approach the feeder, but only moved a few feet away, still in the same tree.

I got close enough to get a decent shot and waited. They came back. I wanted to get one in the air, with movement in its wings. This was the best I could do today. Gonna keep my eye on them.

Happy Bithday, Dr. Seuss

Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Children’s author Theodor Seuss Geisel would be one hundred six years old today. Our Peach County libraries have Dr. Seuss birthday parties to honor him and to celebrate Read Across America.

I love to read, and I always enjoyed reading to my children. Both are avid readers today. Hope I planted that interest. Paul Scott of Fort Valley was the guest reader today, reading “Mr. Brown Can Moo” to a bunch of excited preschoolers. He is a very tall man, and I wanted to capture the difference in size and also the way he bonded with the kids. I think the top photo captured the moment, Paul towering over the kids, and their expressions. Also his “Cat and The Hat” hat and bowtie, as well as the Cat lurking in the background.

Gotta love Dr. Seuss.
