Pictures of things - Cats, Birds, Plants, other things

Kathy's_Birds
these cute things are from my sister (who shall remain namless) but we won't go there!

Bill - just another animal bird or plant (but WHICH?:)

Yeah - well - someone's birthday is coming up next week (we won't say who's) - but - we decided to pick-out a card for her (or is it a him or an it?) - anyway - we struggled (and struggled (and struggled some more))) trying to find a card - finally GAVE UP trying to find a card and decided to send them just a picture of me trying to find a card (Picture OBVIOUSLY taken by my lovely, talented, charming wifely-one (otherwise known as Ms._Huggly_Bunch)....

Remember, though if you want "Cute" (which I am NOT) then you have to scroll-down-a-bit for the cuterestest picture this month!

Cute (Young) Panda Bear

This one came from my step-sister Ms._Kristin, apparently she has a friend; the caption to the original picture reads, "Hello World, don't you think I'm cute?"  - and - yes he/she/it is REAL - other pictures showed growing-up in an incubator!...


Ms. Zuni - relaxing pose

Ms. Zuni - second picture

Some pictures (on Tuesday, 24th) from my sister, who's neighbor's cat seems exceedingly content to pose for relaxing pictures on my sister's front steps... My sister, is, of course, a considerably better 'nature' photographer than I am, PLUS, she has this TERRIFIC subject, who - unlike other nature-subjects will HOLD STILL for a period of time but also knows HOW to pose so you don't have to 'direct' her very much... - Maybe we should pay her more!

If you're interested in more 'views' of Ms. Zuni, you can go to my sister's web-page, here.


Lotus_Flower
A Lotus Pond we found in Clermont (after breakfast and on our return to Groveland to fly.  Because of the getting even more severe 'drought' here in Florida - many many many small lakes are losing their levels and becoming Lotus-Ponds... - this is just one of the MANY in the area!

These cactus blossoms only come out once a year or so ... Ms. May noticed them yesterday morning and we took pictures.  She managed to get them with some bumblebees inside them, I wasn't able to do that?

Cactus_blossoms

More Cactus blossom picture(s) on Ms. May's 'gallery' page when she gets it organized and ready for public consumption!


Pineapple
Ms. May's Pineapple in the front yard.



Siew Mei - near Apple Monitor - on desk
Ms. Siew Mei - on the computer-desk - next to the Apple Monitor - in the "Bills to be Paid" basket, helping me with bill-paying, e-mailing, and generally being uselessing...  - something I'm not very good at but I'm practicing and with Ms. Siew Mei's help I'll be good at this some day (Being Useless!)...

mini_flowers
Some really (REALLY) tiny flowers in the yard (Saturday, 26th May, 2007)...


tomatoes
Ms._May's tomatoes (they are TASTY, AND DELICIOUS (if a bit 'thick skinned' but still tasty!)


pink_flower
and Ms._May's pink-flowered-plant...

 orchids
and Ms._May's orchids - recently watered and 'turned' so that theyget even sun...



Butterfly_and_Thistle
A picture by my Texas_sister of a butterfly and a thistle...


Ks_Painted_Bunting
My sister, in Austin, Texas, is still doing a very good job of Bird Pictures,
with her recently acquired (thanks to the help of her brother) Nikon D-80 Digital camera.
Here's a picture of her "Painted Bunting", who comes to visit her bird feeder periodically.
This is a replacement for the image that was originally here - she didn't like that other one,
I thought it was just fine...
