Not heard of this before. I see there are other flavors. Would try it but can’t handle sugar. Interesting.

Made just enough room to fit them both inside,so I wouldn’t have two blocks of ice.
And here I thought they were hiss and her trees! Chuck

Twisted man you are. Choked up just thinking of the strangler hold implied by the intertwined grasp of marriage. Swelling with emotion, I need to get a grip and forget the modern vines and return to the groove of yesteryear.
Saw these on the side of the road near my house, great egrets, or white herons is what people call them around here, never seen so many in a group before, about half of them took off flying when I got out, and before I could take the picture. The irrigation ditch in the foreground has some little carp and suckers in it, which is the attraction I guess, alfalfa field in the background.... A couple of cormorants in the mix too
Nice collection of white egrets. The all white varieties can be a little tricky to identify. The great egret has a yellow bill/black legs. The snowy egret has black bill/black legs with yellow feet. The cattle egret is smaller with yellowish bill/yellow legs. Then it gets tricky because there's white phases of the great blue heron, the little blue heron, and the reddish egret. The white phase of the great blue has a two tone bill (yellow/grey) and greyish legs; and it's obviously larger and the bill is much larger. The little blue has a long slender neck with greyish bill with a black tip. The white phase of the reddish is similar in size to the little blue but has a pinkish bill with black tip.
Yea I looked them up, these are big and have the yellow bill so I concluded that these were the great egret. I also saw a group of about a dozen great blue herons recently, which until then, had only seen singles. Was.wondering if the congregations meant mating season, but no, not until spring, and in other regions....
Yeah, probably just migrating and gathering around water holes.

I had a breeding pair on my property when I owned it, they are very elusive. Bet when they show themselves very beautiful
If ONLY this was an Ivory BIlled! Great squirrel pics too.

Close up shot of a snowflake on my rug outside....
Thinking the same about the Ivory Billed
However, the squirrel pics - well let's just say I have a bias against! With that said the melanic one is rather cool. Have not seen a melanic although we have a place or two near where you can see a white one if you so desire.
Looks homey. Nice place my friend.

Trip to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome
Well, it is that time of the year and I have not seen the Christmas Tree from the Rockefeller Plaza close to 2 years since I landed back in the “Concrete Jungle”………..Merry Xmas from the “Big Apple”!
