Hummingbirds Swarming
Nothing is more entertaining than watching multiple hummingbirds trying to get their sugar fix all at the same time.
A hummingbird can flap their wings 70 times per second. That's more than 4,000 times per minute. That allows them to hover over flowers, or in this case over the feeders that I have set up throughout the spring and summer.
When there are this many trying to eat at the same time however, they can become a little aggressive. That is why I always hang multiple feeders throughout the yard. But nothing is more exciting than watching a lot of hummingbirds gather together in the morning around a couple of them lined up.

Staples After Surgery
I found a video that I took the day after my knee surgery. Those staples were very uncomfortable. Now that I am healing up I think that it is the best way to go. It is definitely a better looking scar.

Baby Mockingbirds
Last spring we were fortunate to have mockingbirds nest in our honeysuckles. It was a lot of fun watching them grow up, but I don't care to have them back.
Mockingbirds are very protective of their nests. Although the babies were grown and ready to leave the nest in a couple of weeks, the adults would dive bomb anyone in the back yard. They made life miserable for our dogs.

Back Yard Fishing
I've got a friend who told me last spring that he didn't want to set up his pool this year because it was too much work to clean it and keep it clean. I told him he should just fill it with fish and use it as a fishing pond. I was shocked when I found out that he took me seriously.

The Bird Whisperer
I've got a friend that has birds eating right out her hand.
They live in a wooded area that is full of local birds. All she needs to do is walk out back with bird seed in her hand and they come running. Or in this case they come flying. It's interesting how they all take turns in this video. That doesn't always happen.
I gave it a try. Apparently they don't like me.

Our first five years with Heidi
A compilation of photos from our first five years with Heidi. Heidi is a German Shepherd that we got from a local breeder. We knew when we first saw her that she was the one to join our family.
The German Shepherd is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany. According to the FCI, the breed's English language name is German Shepherd Dog. The breed was officially known as the "Alsatian Wolf Dog" in the UK from after the First World War until 1977 when its name was changed back to German Shepherd. Despite its wolf-like appearance, the German Shepherd is a relatively modern breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899.
As a herding dog, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep. Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability, and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police and military roles and acting. The German Shepherd is the second-most registered breed by the American Kennel Club and seventh-most registered breed by The Kennel Club in the United Kingdom.
German Shepherds are moderately active dogs and are described in breed standards as self assured. The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. They are curious, which makes them excellent guard dogs and suitable for search missions. They can become overprotective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized correctly. They are not inclined to become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly intelligent and obedient, as well as protective of their owners.

Cat Fishing?
Cats love fish, but cats also hate water. This cat is willing to take the risk in order to catch a meal.
A friend of mine sent me this video of a cat trying to cat a fish when they were down by the lake.
Spoiler alert: he win in the end.

Live Police Drug Bust
I was sitting watching tv when I heard loud sirens outside. I looked out of the back window and got my own live view of a scene from Cops.
Apparently there was a meth dealer in the neighborhood and the police have been watching. After a deal was made they got pulled over trying to leave.
