Skippy's Backyard: summer clip

Our backyard photo journal - a collection of pictures of Skippy and the plants and flowers in our backyard. Also pictures from Skippy's walks and stories of his therapy work. Skippy is working hard at learning to be a Therapy Dog. Thursday, May 08, 2008. He has a brand new summer clip. Last night was sooo hot for Skippy - he panted instead of sleeping. He's much more comfortable now with his short haircut. I do have to make a quick comment on the ticks this year. Terrible! Posted by kathy at 6:05 PM.

My adventures in the natural world. Birding Resources–Sample Page. June in the Daks, part 2. Birding the Rio Grande Valley–Finally! The Wonders of Santa Cruz Island. October 8, 2013. But, this one Life Bird seemed small potatoes compared to a pelagic trip, an all-day birding trip at sea, promising oodles of sea birds we would never see on land. Fate being what it is, the pelagic trip out of Santa Barbara was cancelled due to lack of participation (hey, Santa Barbara birders! Impassively watched too, comf...

The lamest birder in the world.....: July 2009
http://lamestbirder.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
The lamest birder in the world. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Gotta love them hooters! Today my son and I were invited to visit RAPTOR, Inc. This is a non-profit organization based in SW Ohio. RAPTOR is dedicated to the preservation of birds of prey through rehabilitation, education and conservation. When we arrived at RAPTOR, Lucas's little sponge like brain was full of all kinds of facts, names, and questions for Susan. The third bird was the Biggest and just a Bad Ass! Sylvester the Great Horned Owl. Lucas ...

KatDoc's World: October 2009
http://katdocsworld.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Nature, pottery, pets, and me. Thursday, October 29, 2009. I need a bug expert. And, I do mean "bug," as in "true bug" rather than "generic insect." I've got it narrowed down that far, based on the piercing-sucking mouth parts, the half-leathery wings folded in an "X" on the back and the long antenna. Near as I can come, using my handy-dandy Kenn Kaufman insect guide, is variety of Leaf-footed Bugs, genus Acanthocephala. I can't get any closer, either common name or species. Anybody want to chime in here?

littleorangeguy: The Life Of A Tree
http://littleorangeguy.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-life-of-tree.html
What's happening in sara and kelly's neck of the woods, in the upper outer beach. Sunday, March 23, 2014. The Life Of A Tree. In 2002, Kelly and I bought an old house in Toronto's east end. A 72 year old house, in fact, and along with it came a 72 year old silver maple, which dominated our backyard. About the worst I could say about the tree is that, between its shade and the large numbers of squirrels who lived in its 100 foot branches, it wasn't that good for our tomato crop. Hermit Thrush , House Finc...

http://littleorangeguy.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
What's happening in sara and kelly's neck of the woods, in the upper outer beach. Saturday, January 25, 2014. The Stones Shout Out. If, like me, you think that history is a back-and-forth between what happened in the past and how we understand it, then the National Mall in Washington DC is a wonderful place to explore. The Lincoln Memorial, finally dedicated in 1922 after some 60 years of debate and false starts on how to memorialize the 16th President, dominates the landscape. Continue along the tidal b...

littleorangeguy: Birding Madness, v. 2014
http://littleorangeguy.blogspot.com/2014/05/baillie-birdathon-2014.html
What's happening in sara and kelly's neck of the woods, in the upper outer beach. Monday, May 19, 2014. Birding Madness, v. 2014. Saturday, May 17, 8:20 am - the start of our very successful 2014 Baillie Birdathon. Despite the temperature (5 degrees C - Atomic Fireball weather) we decided to spend a couple of hours at Tommy Thompson Park on the Leslie Spit and then come back home to see what we'd get in our back yard. "A couple of hours" turned into the best part of a day. Tree growing around concrete.

littleorangeguy: June 2012
http://littleorangeguy.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
What's happening in sara and kelly's neck of the woods, in the upper outer beach. Sunday, June 17, 2012. The Killdeer and the Mockingbird. Two years ago, birds were not on my radar. I recognized the basics: gulls, pigeons, crows, cardinals, blue jays, and robins. Then there were all those brown birds and some black birds and the occasional colourful bird Sara would point out to me that would register for about two seconds. I didn't really think too much about them or what they were doing. Where it flies ...
