OK, I’ll play! I see a green heron, a green frog, a dragonfly on a green stalk and a turtle with a green shell. 🙂 Lots of green and I think I found them all. How are the killdeer kids?
Did you see the blue dragon fly on the lavender in the first picture and the mourning dove peeking out of the leaves in the last? Thanks for playing, Linda! 🙂
Actually, it’s a blue damselfly in the first picture. I didn’t see the little ones today but my husband said the parents were still out there doing their broken wing act so we assume the babies were in the area.
I just came back here Ruth. I think I was looking at the lavender and that’s how I missed the blue damselfly in the first picture. I don’t know how I missed the mourning dove peeking out in the last picture. I guess I need stronger glasses. Thanks for pointing them both out to me. I’m glad the killdeer kids are doing well too. You have to do more of these – it was fun! You see more on one trip around the farm than I see sometimes on a walk on a trail in a park. I’ve not been to any big parks lately due to this heat and humidity. Today wasn’t bad, but we had some flooding Downriver from yesterday’s brief torrential rains, so I decided it would be muddy and why chance any flooded roadways.
I’m glad you like this, Linda. It reminded me of the hidden pictures pages I used to like in the Highlights Magazines. The damselfly is hard to make out because it blends right in with the lavender. I think the mourning dove is my favorite – so sweet. We do see and hear a lot of nature at the farm. Much more than I could ever get pictures of. While I never counted, I would guess that we could see 20 or more different types of birds in a day. It’s a busy place. 🙂
You’re lucky to have all this nature so readily available Ruth. That is a lot of bird species to see in one day. I could go walking in a big park and never see many different birds in one day. I’ll bet they are lured as it’s quiet and there is a pond to drink and bathe in. 🙂
We do know what a blessing it is, Linda. We do have a lot of natural habitats in our area for them. We also have some that like to eat our fruits, others who like to eat from the pond and some that eat with the chickens. 🙂
They know the pickin’s are good at your place and the welcome mat is always out. 🙂 (Except if the Killdeer Mama makes her nest near the driveway, but it is accepted as you like nature.)
