guinea pigs

I thought it was so cute when our guinea pig, timothy, got up on top of Cc. That was a day when we sat down and gave them "Exercise". In order to give them exercise, you have to pick Cc up and put him right above the floor. He will start trying to run away from you. He will not know that he is still in the air. At least it works with our guinea pig.

red breasted nuthatch

When I came home from work with my mother I looked at the porch, I saw a red breasted nuthatch that had hit the window. I was able to study the wings and feet. We buried him out next to Lucky and Smirk. Smirk is a lizard that my brother caught in Florida. He was a anole. We left for a trip and had someone take care of him. When we returned we watched a movie and went upstairs and saw that smirk had been mummified. It didn't help that we just watched the "mummy".

first sunflower

This was my first sunflower to open its head. We use its seeds as a snack now. The seed that I planted to get it was from a bag of

bird seed. Unfortunately I was out of town when my mother took the picture. I did not get to see it with all the petals.

my first pileated pictures

This is a titmouse and a pileated woodpecker. I was taking pictures of birds when the titmouse landed on the feeder. I started taking pictures of it. Then I heard a sound like something just landed on the utility pole. I thought that it was just the usual red bellied woodpecker. I turned my camera to the utility pole. To my surprise there was a pileated woodpecker. She sat there for and while and I took a lot of pictures. That was the first time I got pictures of a pileated.

speedy

This is speedy. He is a class pet that my brother got to take care of for the summer. He got us interested in Guinea pigs. that is what made us get Cc and Timothy.
