"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Animal (and Flower) Wednesday

Hah!  I'm pushing the boundaries..because it's already Thursday where some of you live...but, a-ha-ha...still Wednesday here on the West Coast.  So, without further ado....as time is *ticking*..my photos!
The Flowered Clock is TICKING!  ♥
The Tortoise Sundial!  Especially for Mim!



And here's the real thing!

Mr. Snout-Nosed Turtle AND Friends!
A heart-shaped Cactus...


Summer Flowers....









 Two female Wood Ducks... I saw my first Male Wood Duck a few months ago.. now, I have learned to recognise them!  ♥




I saw this wonderful doggie enjoying splashing with a sprinkler!


And I KNOW you were wondering about the Cygnets....well, here they are at FIVE weeks....



Mama Blanche suddenly lost one of her feathers.....and...I HAD to have it..  BUT...

Mr. Seagull beat me to it...

Until he grew bored, let it go and it drifted over to me!  Now, it's mine! 
 A-ha-ha!


Tick-Tock....Tick-Tock.....8:30 p.m. here....whew...I made it!  

HAW!  

Love,
