OUR WORLD, Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Breeding Time


Tax time, one of the revolting realities of life that stress me out 
two personal returns as well as quarterly and annual farm tax!

I like to go a little early to see our accountant just so I can have
half an hour in the little Japanese garden on the way.


Click to enlarge, you'll see the snowflakes flowering on the rocks

I was surprise to already see ducklings, this young pair of 
wood ducks had been busy.
The wood ducks are nesting on the farm as well, a good month 
before their usual time.

Can you see the bonus goldfish?

"Aren't we sweet?"


Dad seems to be in a bit of a flap but the family 
remain unconcerned


as I watched, it became apparent that their colouring 
was a little different - makes me think it's a pigeon pair.


 the dog and I enjoyed a little Zen moment before 
launching into the tax again.

MY WORLD ~ 7 Some Animals on the Farm

Please scroll down for TODAY'S FLOWERS

My computer has been out of commission for
few days so this is not what I promised which,
God willing, will follow next week.

I give you instead some of my 'grand' animals
on the farm.

One of a number in the chook yard, this one was
so fluffed up and broody it was kind of cute



the grandchildrens' bunnies, there are 6 in all




A clutch of ducklings from the farmers' market
acquired last week



two of the 5 horses my daughter and two grand-
daughters have



The old dog Kip and her new friend Rex



Our grandson's dog Rex with flyaway ear
turning like a stock horse on a sixpenny bit



This is but a small selection of the animals in my world.
I hope you have enjoyed them a little.

My thanks to the SkyWatch/My World team for giving
us this opportunity to show something of what we hold
dear.
