Sometimes I sits and thinks. Sometimes I just sits. Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur This young peewee/phoebe, I can't tell the difference, was sitting at the side of the road with the parents flying down to feed it. He cheeped at me and showed no signs of distress.

Do you see the face? Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur To me it looks cat like. It landed on the screen door.

Now I lay me down to sleep. Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Curled up and sleeping with one eye open, this raccoon appears to have decided to sleep on a stump, not the most comfortable mattress. It looked more like a cat all tucked up on a pillow than a raccoon. Maybe he doesn't like the grass tickling his ear. On the way back from our walk he had left, hopefully to a higher perch.

happy hour - really hitting the bottle Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur of course I think this one will be happy and snoozing after 5 minutes.

Okay, i'll finish the report before the weekend! Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Boy, some bosses are sooo unreasonable. Enjoy your weekend.

I have no idea what it is, yes I know it's a butterfly, smarty. Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Taken at a small conservatory.

I've got my eye on you. Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Don't you hate Monday mornings? Your boss is already watching you. I do like the eyes.

Which one is a redheaded woodpecker? Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Actually it is a trick question. This is an adult and a young bird. The youngster doesn't get it's bright red head until later. It is begging for food. Photo by Anne at the wonderful wildlife window.

A visitor from Star Wars Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur an Itor, take me to your leader. This moth landed on the wonderful wildlife window and I was able to get a close up. It is worth loading the large size for this one. Check its antenna.

There be dragons here..... Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur I don't know my dragonflies but this one just sat there allowing lots of time to take his photo, so I obliged. The internet company is here right now, checking to see if I can get line of sight for over the air or satellite connection. Cross your fingers for me.

I can taste you. Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Reptile show at Rondeau last weekend. This monitor lizard had his tongue full of new tastes.

Red Aphids Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Our wild flowers are suffering from a plague of aphids. Nothing seems to be feeding on the aphids yet. I up loaded a bigger size as they are quite interesting in large. we hosed them off the plants as we don't use chemicals in the garden. Any other suggestions on reducing their impact?
