We had a doe and fawn come by this evening. They discovered our squirrel feed. In the middle of the feeding comes our fox who is quite healthy compared to the others and lifts his leg on the squirrel feeder. Sheesh. I'll post a picture later.

I could not believe it when he did that. Just waltzed in and squatted. Completed his business and walked on. I did not get a picture as my wife and I were already making the deer a bit uneasy. They can see us through our window. Heck, we are only 25-30 feet from them.

I hate spiders. I know they eat other bugs and all but some around my house are large enough to carry one off. No thanks!

I definitely must get a new digital camera. The one I have is over 10 years old and I've been having some problems with the settings, changing all of a sudden on their own whilst I'm focusing or taking a shot.:nope:

These are female and/or juvenile-male Ruby Throated Hummingbirds:

These are awesome shots. We have 3-4 hummingbirds that frequent the sugar feeder and my wife's potted flowering plants. Of all the bird, the hummingbird is my favorite. Just an amazing creature.

The biggest I've come across in the UK had a 2" long body...not big by comparison with many another country but a monster in my opinion, especially in the UK :)

Found this on the internet. People saving animals. Makes you feel good about people for a change.

Good stuff.:up:
I once pulled a black Labrador Retriever out of a half-filled pool, while my partner kept the other pet, a barking Rottweiler at bay. The dog would've eventually tired, and then drowned. Despite being good swimmers, this one had no way out of the in-ground pool unless someone pulled him out. I had to lie on the ground (in my uniform), reach down and grab the dog under it's front paws (armpits on a human). I'm surprised it didn't bite my face off in the process.
Instead of citing the owners, I gave them a warning and never had to return.

I generally feel good about people because generally they are good. However, the news prefers to hand you the bad people who make you generally not like people as a whole.
