Red and Blue

I went to my great aunt and great uncle’s in Leesburg (FL) today and really wish I had taken my good camera. Just check out the action in their backyard:

Blue Jay, Squirrel & Frogs ~ Tuesday’s Show & Tail

Well, I haven’t posted one of these in quite awhile I see. Thought I would post one for today.

In front of our trailer, there are always cardinals, blue jays and other birds flying about. I happened to get close enough to capture this beauty:

My former step-cousins, now friends (long story short their mom and my uncle were married until his death in 1993), found a nest of baby squirrels that blew out of one of her trees not too long ago. Here is the one that survived:

Ain’t it cute?!!? Her mom and brother are nursing it and keeping it as a pet.

And for my birthday, my bestie sent me another Froggy something:

I love it!

Birds ~ Tuesday’s Show & Tail

I couldn’t resist being vague in the Title of this post and starting off with that infamous laugh! LOL

For today, I am sharing the woodpeckers that live in a tree behind the flower shop:

PetSmart – Tuesday’s Show & Tail

My neighbor and I went to a local PetSmart Saturday afternoon in Tampa. While we were there, we checked out the dogs that were up for adoption:

While walking around the store, we came upon cats:

Snakes:

Frogs:

 

You kinda have to look past the glare. The store lights were just terrible to work around, but the frog is the dark blotch with a bit of shine along the nose.

A very cute parrot:

and Lizards:

This last puppy (well, he’s actually about 9 years old) reminded me of one from a blog I read. His name is Gizmo:

I wished I could adopt another cat or two and maybe a dog, but alas I don’t have my own place yet. My neighbor was wishing the same thing when she spotted this little cutie:

No, that’s not me in the background. She was one of the women holding the dog adoption.

Saint Petersburg Beach

On Saturday afternoon, dad and I went for a drive along the beaches of Pinellas County. Florida boasts some of the most beautiful beaches and yes there are many. We stopped and took a short walk out to St. Pete Beach so I could take some pictures. Here is one of 3 gulls in search of dinner. Doesn't the one look like it just wants to have a conversation?! LOL

And this little fella just seems content to be by himself!
