For some odd reason, this didn't post on Sunday like I thought it did. Hope it does so this time.
This morning a birding friend called me to make sure I knew about
the rare Vermilion Flycatcher from Texas
who ended up in Wallaceburg – a town less than a half an hour from here. I did
know about it but I have been under the attack from the brain disorders for the
last several days and haven’t felt like doing much of anything. However, we
decided this was a perfect time to get out of the house for awhile so off we
went. This is probably the last time in our life that we will see this bird as
we have no intention of ever going to Texas…..well,
Joe doesn’t and he’s the driver! Here are four of my favourite photos of him –
it’s an immature male.
We have had such mild weather up until this week that my garden is
very confused. When we came home from seeing the bird I went around to the side
of the house and snapped these two photos – the miniature rose bush and the
orange daisy-like flowers bloomed lately but they won’t last long now.
Our
grass is as green as it is in July too. There will be no white Christmas where
I live.
Cheers
Violet
