Good Morning Everyone,

Time for a little ketchup…..

Jean, I think when the turkeys are that big the kitties stand back and watch them. It was raining when the turkeys stopped by so all the kitties were out of the rain somewhere so I’m not even sure they got to see them. Sorry no firework display for you and Megan this year. Maybe you are right due to the economy there weren’t any. What a shame, gf. Great scaps of the show, Jean! Thanks!!

Lori, thanks for letting us know about BJ. What a sad thing to have had to happen. Aaawww love your cards for Kat and Lance. Wrinkle is so cute! I was sooo mad during the show when your presentation started there was a knock at the door and hubby wasn’t home so I had to answer it. After our friend left your presentation was already done. So I’m gonna have to see what I missed. That was so sweet of you to do that for them. Hey, did your CD make it to sweet Rachels house? What did the parents say? Beautiful sunset pics Lori. Thanks, glad you liked my pic too. I missed something here. I understand why you are whoopin Gord, but why Scott? Mmmm….your pork chops sound yummy!

Iona, aaaww you are working so hard at that ketchup. If you are going to be busy with work and all you do its ok to just plop down on the current day if you want too. No one minds and it will be easier for you. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the xmas card and thanks we always enjoy the time with the grandkids. Sounds like you had a wonderful holiday too with all of your family. Aaaww, how sweet you held little Keifer the whole night. He's such a cutie.

Naoma, love the 3 Stooges. I think theres a marathon going on around here too. Good point about Reserve!

Linda, good idea about posting the link for BOTD. Glad that it will save you time. Thanks for the info on the Great Egret. They are so beautiful. Thanks for the pics, facts, sounds and videos.

(((Nancy))), thanks for your explanation of BJ. Too bad they couldn’t relocate her but if they are as I read very territorial we wouldn’t have wanted BJ to get hurt by the other alligators either. Hope somehow the people in the future will keep their distance from the gators. OMG, I just love those Black Bellied Whistling Ducks. How cute!!! I want them here in my pond! Beautiful pic of the Glossy Ibis, cute pied billed grebe and coot pic. Gorgeous pic of that beautiful Sora. Beautiful clear bright colors in that pic! What a cutie! Nice pic of the Wilson Snipe too. So glad you were able to get out and share those beautiful pics with us Nancy. Looks like it was a beautiful day out there too. lol game on…ketchup later. Good idea!
Beautiful pic of the Little Green Heron. Aaaww, love the red shouldered hawk checking you out. He’s a cutie too. Great shot! So glad to read you were able to get to your neighbors dog in your yard. That would have been terrable if it kept running and got lost. So sorry Abigail was scared too with the noise going on. Poor babies. But at least now they can relax. Lol yes Gord should be sore by now. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the turkeys and the sunset pic, Nancy. I really was surprised to see that many turkeys at one time.

Judy thanks for the scap. I’m looking forward to your eagle pics with your new cam. Hope you saw them.

Anna, it was soo good seeing you and Ruud and Brigitte at the show. Thank Brigitte for me for coming back. She’s such a sweetie! What a fun show too. thanks! And thanks, glad you liked the sunset pic.

Scott, thanks glad you liked the turkey parade. I have to admit at first that did startle me to see so many walking down our driveway. And thanks, glad you enjoyed the pic of the sunset too. Love the pics of your visitors at the feeder. That first pic is a beauty that I don’t seem to see at my feeder. Only once in a great while do I see that second bird. See Scott how I can’t remember the birds names? Lol I don’t know why Lori and Annie are whoopin you, Scott. That’s got me puzzled, too.

Annie, such a beautiful card for Anna, Ruud and Brigitte. I understand you spankin Gord, but why Scott? I missed something here, gf. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the sunset pic. Oh nooo….more rain. I hope it stops soon for you. I know you must be so sick of it!! Lol yes I thought they said no more typing …..but looks like that didn’t happen.hehe Maybe because of all the rain you have that’s why there weren’t any fireworks this year? Glad you enjoyed seeing the turkeys. It was fun for me to see so many of them this time. Lol old coots! Good one, Annie.

Dede, thanks. Glad you enjoyed the sunset pic. I love yours!! Gorgeous colors in the sky. And it looks sooo cold there too. That’s a great New Years Resolution. You’ll have fun learning more with your camera. And we’ll love seeing your pics too. Gorgeous sunset pic, Dede. Beautiful reflection on the water. Thanks for sharing.

Doug, thanks. And Happy New Year to you too. Thanks for the beautiful pic of your eagle.

(((Candy))), so good to see you. I hope you are feeling better each day. And I hope you are remembering to drink more water too.

Naoma, beautiful sunset pic. Thanks!

Kat, cute pic of you and Lance enjoying the firework display. Wow, those are gorgeous pics you took. Thanks for sharing with us.

Elle, I agree it was cool to see all the sunset pics from around the world like that. Aaaww, and we love you too. I agree...this is a wonderful group.

Scott, thanks. Male house finch. I love them. Aaawww, thanks glad you enjoyed the yard pics. Thanks for our bear update Scott. I checked the cam yesterday but Lily was sound asleep. Beautiful pic of that family with the bear.

(((Rose))) so good to see you! Beautiful sunset pics from Peggys Cove! Just gorgeous! Thanks so much!

….I’m done…….end of Saturday.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning Friends,

It sounds like the broadcast was super for Lance and Kat, I will be checking it out. I loved all the beautiful sunset photos. Nancy, What wonderful bird photos you captured my friend. Scott, I stopped by your photos too from your sunny outing and they are so beautiful. Thanks both of you for bringing those wonderful photos our way. Doug Super neat photo you brought us to of your friend checking you out. Lance and Kat, Great photos from your couch.

I will be heading for Wisconsin with Stacy today to pick up Marinda and Brad. I will check in when I get back. Everyone have great day.

This is my last words, but not thoughts, for BJ's murder. She would have at least had some type of chance any were on this planet, then being trapped by humans and slaughtered. She was of nature and they have a built in way of readjusting and surviving when left to their selves in their world of the natural environment.

I will try to get a BOTD posted before I leave.

Good Morning Dear Friends



Wishing You a Wonderful Day !

Happy 2011!!!!

I see everyone had a nice, quiet, and Happy New Year.

Sorry, Candy, that you have been sick again and I hope you get better very soon.

I spent New Year's Eve with four good friends. We went to a show and then dinner and we all were back at our friends house by 11:30pm to watch The Space Needle celebration. I spent the night and then spent all New Year's Day at my friends house watching Bowl Games and eating good food. It was a very good way to spend the New Year.

It was nice to hear from Lead Foot Gordy!!

So sad about BJ, Nanc. Never underestimate the stupidity of humans!

I now have the bear den cam on my favs, Thanks Scott and Jean.

More coffee and then football, laundry, paying bills, making lunches for work next week, putting up Christmas decorations, just two or three little things. Wow, another New Year, amazing!

Morning Jean

Hey Scott

Hi Sue

Hi PJ Love that wolf Card

Hi Linda I was at the thread already and commented. I may not K_UP every day, but I do read.

CK That is a great PFOTD. It looks really pretty all by itself in all that green.

Lori I see Annie didn’t spank you yet. You need to be careful so you don’t do further damage to your shoulder. I still can’t believe they haven’t done anything good for it yet. I’m kind of glad you are saying you won’t type as much; maybe I’ll k-up quicker. XOXOXOXOXOXOXo

Hi Elle Your plan for old furs is excellent. I wish you a lot of luck with the project. Thanks for thinking of it. It will mean a lot to the foundations. The wolf is beautiful. I love his face.

Hi Karen Nice card for kat & Lance

Hi Judy That is a cute card. Don’t worry Judy. It took me a while before I got decent pics too. It takes time and patience. Love your alarm clock. He looks like he means business.

Jean I’m so happy you have your brother’s Santa, it will bring lots of joy to you at Christmases to come.

Well have to stop here David want to go get something to eat, and do the shopping we couldn’t do yesterday. Love to you all.

Sue…I checked Lily & Hope’s den in the wee hours this morning…quite a bit of movement going on…restless maybe.
Not sure which one it was near the den opening…but this is what I saw:

Geez...just can't seem to get comfy...


Maybe if I fluff up my pillow...


Awwwww...that's all better


Linda…I know you’re anxious to see Marinda & Doug…wishing you, Stacy, and all a safe & fun trip.
Thanks for sharing the Black-bellied Whistling Duck…really a colorful one.
Seems funny to me...to see a duck in a tree.

SweetPea...Love the Sunday GOTD. Thank you, GF, and hope you'll have a wonderful day too.

Kathy…Happy to hear you enjoyed spending the New year with good friends.
Also got my decorations all boxed up & put away this morning…tree area sure looks bare.
Welll, duh...it may help if I put the rocking chair back over there!
You’re welcome for the bear den link.

Iona…Glad David got you away from that K-up-ing chore, GF!
Thanks about the Santa.
Enjoy your out to eat & shopping…always fun doing those things together.

Mornin' {{{{{{{{{{Nestlings}}}}}}}}}}}}

Even with one round of meds and some icing already done I'm still very sore today so just a few notes to catch up on our first day of the New Year. Man we kicked it off some good didn't we??? wooooohoooooo and I see Ruud has updated the site so I need to head there. I don't know if I'll even do any for today

First though I seen lots of "why Scott including from Scott" soooo at the show Nanc busted him for doing his ketchup during the show!! Scott would have seen Nanc tell me to tan his hide but he was busy typing up his ketchup notes...hahaaaaa. That's why!

{{{{Candy}}}} it sure was fun and crazy and I'm so glad you loved the project for Kat and Lance. I hope you're feeling a little better now on the meds GF and I'm sure glad you made it to the show!

Dede I love that dramatic shot you posted! My resolution is to not make any resolutions this year that way I can win for a change...heheeee. I love yours though! Go for it girl!

awww my {{{{Tx}}}} your welcome for the sunset kickoff, I'm glad you liked them and I looooved yours! I always do

Nanc! I wanted to say too that those black-bellied whistlers are suppose to be here but I've never seen one! It's sure great to see yours and then Linda put more on them as BOTD. I hope this year I seem them. I looooooove you shots from the reserve GF. You have such awesome subjects there and that Sora's hiney up in the air is just tooo cute and his eyes are unreal. Sweet shot of the Snipe! The Green Heron is for sure my fav of all the Herons then Linda's little blue second followed by the others. Awesome hawk! I don't even know who was playing the hockey game but the flag by fans sounded neat. I know Toronto played last night and had a 3 - 0 lead last I looked then I got hooked on puppies.

hahaaaaa Annie!! old Coots indeed 5000 pts!

ohh man Iona! You really need to just jump in but cudos to your detemination! You're welcome for wee Rach and all the other stuff I put GF. wooohoooo finally somebody that's with me on Elvis. I'm not sure where mine comes from I just didn't see what others seen I guess. Yeah me too with other bands. hehe yupper you know you're bad when give yourself a whoopin'

perty pic from your friend Dede, thats funny about the guys! Gee I guess not going was the best thing after all huh?

there's Kat and Lance with their sweet post awwww and I sure loved the fireworks and footsie pics. Yeah it was weird GF not one firecracker, not a single one! Usually around here they get at it a couple days before and after but nope. No idea why

eeeek Scott I still have to come look at your pics! thanks for the link and sweet accompanying pic. I love the stance on the juvie

Me too Nanc! I'm not looking forward to another ppppuuuuu in the car but I sure do love taking things to the eagles though. I'm glad you liked seeing wee Wrinkle sending a card to Kat and Lance and my sunset shots. awww to the tribute choking you up, it did me too to be truthful. You're welcome for the tanning on the guys!

{{{{Bev}}}} I'm glad you had a busy hopefully fun day and thanks so much for stopping in. Nothing but the best to you too in 2011!

Niters Judy, I'm glad you and Gary had a great time!

Hey Elle, yeah it is neat seeing all the different sunsets, sorry you couldn't get yours. heheee to you clapping at the spankings! They're naughty apes for sure! Well when anybody ever starts a statement with "there's NO way anyone can convince me" I know not to bother trying the logical argument so I won't. We can all just feel how we feel about BJ and her outcome. I will say though that you can't just plop a huge alligator anywhere, I highly doubt there's a line up of places saying "we'll take a full grown alligator", and I'd rather see her shot than torn apart in someone else's territory. It is what it is

those socks Kat has on are awesome aren't they Dede? I'm glad you guys had your normal fireworks

really Scott? I didn't know common house finches had that much color...huh learn something everyday like it or not haha. See above for why you got a whoopin and ohhh that's odd! another one with no fireworks. Puzzling. heheeee to ketchup taking longer, you mean like this one!!! Thanks for the bears BF. Gotta tell ya I shook my head at that Gordon family shot, guess who'd get shot if anything went wrong. And who's fault would it be???? Right!!! Half the time I'd rather see the dump people shot but that aint the way we roll

Thanks for the Peggy's shots Rose, sorry you were too late for the show! At least you can see the recording though. We all had a grrrrrrrreat first day of the new year and I hope you guys did too!

whewwww that was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be! Man we're an active bunch! hehe

See you all later
