ABC Wednesday: P is for Peekaboo

 Picking peekaboo shots put me in the position of looking for shots I normally wouldn't consider as good as others.

The catbird above was playing peekaboo in the mulberry tree and ordinarily I would have gone with the shots when its face wasn't hidden.

Primary among the criterion I used for picking peekaboo shots was part of the animal was hidden like the pretty bluejay above. The neighborhood puss below was peeking out at me from my deck although at this point I keep my gate shut to discourage pussycats from scaring the birds that bathe on my deck.

The pretty swallowtail butterfly was peeking out from the coneflowers and grasses several summers ago when I took that peekaboo shot.

Peter Cottontail was playing peekaboo in my grass several summers ago.

The squirrel was playing peekaboo on my deck wall recently.

My neighbor's cat was playing peekaboo in my primroses recently.

Our World Tuesday: Is it something I said . . .

Sometimes I feel like asking the male cardinals if it's something I said. Yes I know, they don't speak human and I don't speak bird but they do seem to look askance at me.

The male house finch below looked looked like a punk rocker after his bath.

The squirrel had all his concentration on supper.
