Our Forester in very early morning sun and a deer having come to our driveway for the heads of a low growing weed. It didn’t like that I snuck (sneaked) out of the house to get the photo. See Item #4<\/p>\n Our Forester in very early morning sun and a deer having come to our driveway for the heads of a low growing weed. It didn’t like that I snuck (sneaked) out of the house to get the photo. See Item #4<\/p>\n
Item #1: Landing <\/span> The post is from 2012, so 7 years ago, and may be inactive now. On that page is a photo and a note about providing Hummingbirds a place to perch. The site wants to sell you one of its “amazing hummingbird swings” to place within sight of your feeder. <\/p>\n We feed birds, but not Hummers. They do come and inspect the red stick-on bows we have on the windows \u2013 those to keep the regulars from flying into the sky reflection.<\/p>\n A search with “images” for Hummingbirds brings up about 70 gazillion photos. You’ve got nothing better to do \u2013 go for it. <\/p>\n Item #2: A different kind of landing <\/span> None of the swimmers was struck or injured. Two of them swam over to help the driver escape from his car.<\/p>\n Item #3: a 2nd car ends in water <\/span> <\/p>\n I could not make up stuff like this. The son wanted a Jaguar. Folks bought him a new BMW. Oops!<\/p>\n Kid pushed BMW into pond <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Item #4: The dear Deer <\/span> Cute but they are so destructive. I have two very pretty hydrangea bushes in my front beds. No flowers because no matter how much I spray with deer repellent they eat them the instant they bud! I mentioned the deer eating her bushes to someone and they claim hanging chunks of Ivory Soap near the plants will scare (?) deer away. Why this should be so, I have no idea. <\/p>\n And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.

We were sent an e-mail with a few photos gleaned from the web with added ‘cute’ captions. By “gleaned” I mean there is no attribution; who took the photo? Neither do I know who added the caption. The photo above came with: Flight ‘Hum-One’ coming in for a landing’<\/em><\/span>.
\nWhen I can find the source, I can give credit. In this case, I found the photo, along with related ones, but still can’t tell if it was taken or used by the author of the site; Wild Garden Accents<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A16-2-car-lands-in-pool.jpg\")
\nTake a swim <\/strong><\/a>
\nA car crashed through the glass wall of a fitness center — the car landed in the middle of the swimming pool. Three people were swimming laps as the car plunged into the water and quickly sank to the bottom. <\/p>\n
\nI sent the photo of the baby deer to my sister in Ohio. She lives in a very urban area. However, about the length of a football field to her east is the upper (small) part of an ever widening wet area, plant habitat, and woodsy place. I think this wetness becomes a small stream that eventually flows into the infamous Cuyahoga River (it once caught on fire).
\nAfter receiving the picture, she wrote:<\/p>\n
\nLast week at church I watched a 10 point buck eat away at two bushes and then it laid down and stayed there for over an hour. There was a big one running thru the yards yesterday.
\nDid I tell you we have a coyote too!!
\nI love living in the forest.
\nOh wait, I live in the city!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
