Latergram from vacation. I was headed for the iceberg but stopped for the "Shell with Attached Seaweed" attraction. Pretty fancy nature!

Bryce Dallas Howard, featured model for @mcmurray_hatchery, shows off her loooong neck. Part giraffe, part velociraptor and all crazy, Bryce is a great addition to my flock of oddities. Her sister Gloria is perched behind, doing her best impression. Someone (Wilga) has been plucking out her neck feathers. Such personality! Such troublemakers!

On today's edition of "Nature is a Jerk" we have whatever is removing huge from the plants and just eating a few bites. This Jerk doesn't wait for the tomatoes to turn red, doesn't eat all of one before moving onto the next AND always chooses the I had my eye on. First, I was blaming when it was just a few nibbles. Next, I was cursing when it was more. But now, the tomatoes are being removed from higher up the plant and I assume it is a team. I'm thinking a duo of pecking at the stem with a using its creepy hands to hold the cage steady. Then a contingent of rabbits rolls the fallen fruit to a comfortable area where the whole team can relax together and enjoy it together. There might also be a small deer on the coaching staff. I've seen evidence of chest high nibbles I can't attribute to anyone else. Unless those raccoons are going at it totem pole style...

Just a minute of some Georgia chickens eating a Georgia peach! I skewered the peach to the ground so it wouldn't roll around and get dirty. There is a second peach stake on the other side of the chicken yard so that Vi and Donna didn't have to share. Spoiled? My chickens? No!! Stop!

My tomatoes will reach the sky! Several of the plants are approaching the 8 foot mark. This is the year I will cut them back so that it doesn't become a dense tomato jungle. This one. This is the year.

Thank goodness Ruthie is no longer broody! Her quarter sized eggs are so important to our daily rations. 😀
I do appreciate your efforts tiny chicken. Even if they are not represented well by your production.

We had to come back to to see what we missed last week when it was all fogged in. Looks a little different in the sunshine! Highly recommend for those that are sure-footed and not afraid of heights!

Look at that little dude in the front! He's wearing a cast on his foot and absolutely playing it for extra treats. Oh, poor me, can't get over there, please deliver! Worked on me!

Finally! I thought we were going to get out of Canada without a single spotting! At first it was just this large moose. Then there was one baby. Then two! It was so exciting! And, lest you think I'm good at spotting things, I included the picture where the moose literally crossed the walking path in front of a crowd of tourists.

I was worried that the sheep at my were not going to be friendly. But then I sat down with a piece of pie and discovered that sheep are just like any other animal. Scroll for the progression.
