I found ET! He’s living at the San Diego Safari Park!

I know it’s shocking to think that he’s picked up a smoking habit.

But look at that stogie!

What do you expect with him homesick for his planet, and stuck all these years in Southern California? I’m surprised he’s not surfing.

Cheers to you from ET and all his extraterrestrial (Waller Gazelle) buddies at the San Diego Safari Park~

This guy obviously agrees!

The Flaming Goes are pairing up.

Getting ready for Valentines Day!

Some are already dating…..

While others think it wiser,

to go out in a group.

But all Goes dine.

No matter how hard it is to swallow!
The Flaming Goes send you cheers & wish you a Happy Valentines Day~

Teeny Tiny Birdie Feet~

I evaluate hummingbird photos by how clearly I can get the feet in focus. If the face is in focus, but the feet are blurry, then the photo doesn’t make the cut.

Besides I can’t believe their birdie feet. They are miniaturized, engineering marvels.

These tiny birds who weigh less than a nickel, have impressively functional feet.

Check out this guy with his landing gear engaged and ready to lock on!

Right now the hummers appear to be miffed.

I moved their feeder so it would be more in the sun for photos, and they are balking about using it.

It’s a hummingbird standoff.

If they refuse to use the feeder for another hour, I’ll move it back.
Cheers to you from The Holler Hummers, who, of course, are always in charge!
I am just their feeder filler~
