from Aesop’s Fables A Rooster was scratching the ground in a farmyard in search of food for himself and his hens, when he happened to turn up a precious stone. “You may be a treasure to your proper owner,” he said, “but for me I would rather have a single barley corn than all the jewels in the world.” Moral: The value of an object is in the eye of the beholder.

The story of Leda and Zeus (or Jupiter) was very popular in ancient Greece. / Zeus managed to seduce the lady Leda while he was taking the form of a swan which came to her in search of aid. As Wikipedia says: “Their consummation, on the same night as Leda lay with her husband Tyndareus, resulted in two eggs from which hatched Helen, Clytemnestra, and Castor and Pollux,” all of whom grew up to become legendary figures in their own right. Images of their consummation were very popular decorations on ancient Greek stoneware….

Please check out Michael Mitchell’s website thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) The largest Australian kingfisher, the kookaburra has a massive bill, a brown stripe through the eyes and over the crown, off-white head and underparts. It is mottled light blue on the wings and has brown bars on the tail. Family members live in the same territory year-round and reinforce the boundaries at the beginning of the breeding season, calling together and awaiting the response of neighbours. Young stay with their parents for up to 4 years helping to the offspring. They hunt from a perch, staring at the ground and fluttering down to catch prey. They breed from September to January and lay 1-4 eggs in a nest in a tree hollow or termite mound. The female and family helpers incubate the eggs and care for the young who fledge in about 5 weeks. Their call is raucous laughing and their diet consists of reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and other invertebrates. They inhabit Sclerophyll forests, woodlands and parks.

The Great Blue Heron , Ardea herodias, is a wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae. / It is the largest North American heron, with a head-to-tail length of 91–140 cm (36-55 in), a wingspan of 167-201 cm (66-79 in), and a weight of 2–3.6 kg (4.4-8 lbs). / Although the Great Blue Heron eats primarily fish, it is adaptable and willing to eat other animals as well. Several studies have found that voles (mice) were a very important part of the diet, making up nearly half of what was fed to nestlings in Idaho. Occasionally a heron will choke to death trying to eat a fish that is too large to swallow.

It’s an icy cold day in Red Oak, TX. We live just 30 minutes south of Dallas and it’s 32 degrees and our trees are covered in about 3/4 inches of ice. It’s been steadily raining all day, freezing on all the trees, fences, and power lines. A huge limb on our neighbors cedar tree broke while I was standing on our front porch taking pictures. It was very loud, it fell on our side of the fence, will make great firewood. I guess you could call this an ice storm, the roads are safe for now as it was 80 degrees here just yesterday, crazy Texas weather. Anyway we have never seen a woodpecker in our neck of the woods in almost a year that we have lived here. Today we’ve had two of these beautiful little fat woodpeckers pecking away at our tree, so lovely to see them. This was taken through a window, it’s not the best photo, but it was my best shot. And the little finch birds and red and blue cardinals are everywhere, birds of every kind flocking together. I took some bird seed out and scattered some on our big front porch and in the grass around, the little finch birds are coming right up on the porch, they are so adorable. I have frozen my butt of today, bundling up to sit out on the porch to get pictures, then coming in to warm up by the fire, then out again. We don’t see weather like this very often in Texas, so when we do, I have to take advantage of it – it will all be gone tomorrow, back up to 70 degrees by Thursday – crazy Texas weather!!

MY FIRST AND ONLY HOMEPAGE FEATURE – JANUARY 10, 2009 Sale of a card to Michael Outbridge I so LMAO when I saw this…several of these tiny little Chipping Sparrows were standing on my window sill…there is no screen on this particular window…I managed to get a pic before they flew away…this was the result…he doesn’t look too happy with me for taking his picture does he?...poor baby…I put some bird seed on the window sill and threw some out on the grass hoping they would return…I even lifted the blinds so as to get a better shot…but it began raining harder afterwards…they found the bird seed on the front porch I think…more pics of them coming up…it is an icy cold day in TX…32 degrees and about 3/4 inches of ice on the trees…brrrr…baby it’s cold outside!!! The Chipping Sparrow is one of the smallest sparrows. It is widespread, fairly tame, and common across most of its North American range. A common small sparrow of yards, gardens, and forest openings, the Chipping Sparrow is probably best known for its dry, trilling song. It commonly nests in ornamental evergreens. This one is definitely better viewed larger

Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. Matthew 10:29 Another shot of the little chipping sparrows on my front porch scouting out the birdseed I threw out for them…it’s been a cold…icy day in Texas…taken through a window…so not clear and crisp as I would have liked!

Feature TPW – 1/12/09 Another photo from January 5, 2009…an icy cold day in Texas…yes I need to fill the feeder…I made it up to them by throwing handfuls of birdseed out onto the frozen ground. This bird feeder swings and sways in the wind when not frozen and makes a light reflection on the ground. Champ will chase the reflection for hours, silly dog :) Hey little bluebird…you must be so cold and hungry…sitting on the icy birdhouse hanging high on the branch…you wait so patiently in anticipation…for the human on the porch to throw a handful of bird seed onto the lawn before and below you…what a beautiful bird you are…now eat little bird…and warm your tiny little heart and tummy. Author – Me (Just typed this up…I am not a poet…maybe if I took a little more time…something I wish to work on this year…but it did come straight from the heart!)

Thank you Dennis Penny for giving me the idea for my title…I love it! These two little bluebirds found a warm spot on the side of this tree in my front yard…the wind was blowing pretty hard and they were on the opposite side of the tree out of the wind…taken on January 5, 2009…32 degrees out and an ice storm.

Here is my second attempt at applying the orton effect. After much deliberation, and hard work on this image I decided to scrap the whole idea and start over. I used myown methods and reather like the way it turned out!!! I call it the “Julie effect!” Thank you for viewing my work!!! If you like what you see here, have a peek at the rest of my work.

Taken at the Knoxville Zoo, April 2009 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Black-bellied Whistling-duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis), formerly also called Black-bellied Tree Duck, is a whistling-duck that breeds from the southernmost United States and tropical Central to south-central South America. In the USA, it can be found year-round in parts of southeast Texas, and seasonally in southeast Arizona, and Louisiana’s Gulf Coast. It is a rare breeder in such disparate locations as Florida, Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina. It is widely known as “pijije” (also “pixixi” or “pichichi”), “chiriría” or “sirirí” in Latin America, though this can also refer to other whistling-ducks and a qualifyer such as “ala blanca” or “aliblanco” (“white-winged”) is usually added to signify this species. In Mexico, it is also called pato maízal (“cornfield duck”) due to its habit of visiting such fields after harvest. And since it is one of only two whistling-duck species native to North America, it is occasionally just known as “the whistling duck” in the southern USA. The Black-bellied Whistling-duck is an unusual species among North American waterfowl. With its long legs, peculiar appearance and odd habits, it was described by one early American ornithologist[citation needed] as “most un-duck-like”. Its numbers are increasing in North America.
