Friday Link Ups - November 28, 2014

Welcome. - To those who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday I hope you didn't over indulge in holiday goodies.  I tried hard to keep it in control so I didn't feel overly stuffed.


It's time to join Tanya (Around Roanoke) for Willy-Nilly Friday Five.


1.  I snapped this shot of a Dragonfly this past summer and hadn't yet posted it (that I recall).  I find dragonflies to be very fascinating.  Now more so after I discovered this information on them today while researching dragonflies.  Be sure to watch the video.  Towards the end this same type of dragonfly is shown.

2.  This is our Pug, Cricket.  She doesn't often sit still for pictures but I managed to get this one of her the other night.  You see that yellow blob in front of her?  It's a piece of a dog cookie.  We can place them on the floor and tell her to wait and she'll just sit there until you tell her okay and then she grabs up the cookie and woofs it down.  I found a video one day of a Pug named, Loca that Coleen fell in love with.  So I thought I would share that with you.




3.  Coleen has had this "bird feeder" set out all summer and nary a bird has visited.  The other day we finally had a visitor to the feeder......



The little rascal hung there for some time pulling seeds out of the feeder and eating them.  I just wonder how strong those little feet are to hang like that. 


4.  While out taking pictures the other day I saw a large bird fly past me and land in a tree about a block away.  So I hurried back to the house and got my camera.  Halfway down the block I snapped a shot of the bird (this is cropped) and then headed on to see if I could get a better picture.  Sadly the hawk had flown by the time I got to the tree.  I convered this image to Black and White for,  The Weekend in Black and White.

5. With Thanksgiving over now it is time to bring out the Christmas decor.  I put away all the regular glasses today and have brought out the "Holiday Glasses" for the season.  They will be used now until Jan.2nd at which time they are put away again for another year.  I'm also playing the first Christmas music today and hubby and everyone else are outside putting up the holiday lights.  Do you have a favorite Christmas song or decoration.  Tell me about it in the comment section.

  5. You amaze me with your pictures, Ida. Fun to see Harley and Cricket. It makes my feet hurt to see the squirrel hanging like that on Coleen's feeder! Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

  10. Harley is a sweetie! I didn't know cats ate crackers, but whenever I eat some around Chase Bird, he tries to get at them.

    Beautiful shot of the dragonfly! The details on his wings are gorgeous.

    I love the Christmas carols like "The First Noel" and "Silent Night." I popped in the first Christmas CDs today.

  21. I love Christmas carols, the old ones from hundreds of years ago that are less familiar. Such good recordings on Youtube! Your photos are excellent. I love the bare tree, and that squirrel is hysterical. He's really lounging! Your holiday glasses are lovely -- that's a great idea. I should look for some :)
