Fantastic critters! 🙂
Fantastic beasts and where you find them <3
😀
Sunning, Cindy. I love your photography.
I love my friends like you more. Thank you Rob <3
Gorgeous pictures, as always. But those terns! Amazingly beautiful.
Aren’t they gorgeous birds. They are a vulnerable species and are so delicate and sweet. I wish they were more protected.
The 1st few pictures remind me of the country life I once enjoyed.🙂
It must have been gorgeous!
Yep.🙂
Wowwwww, great pictures again! You are a genius! 😀👍
I wish I wwew, but thank you so much for the kind encouragement!
das ist echt toll, liebe Cindy, passe auch heute gut auf, es wird wieder richtig heiß, Klaus
Vielen dank mein lieber Freund Klaus! <3

Ja das ist jetzt Sommer!
Wochenende und immer noch kein Regen, die armen Bauern und Gartenbesitzer, Klaus
Love all your beautiful pictures here!!!
Thanks so much & have a wonderful week!
You as well!!

I love these critters, Cindy! 🙂
Yes, I do too, all creatures great & small <3
🙂
Lovely critters…and Cooks! <3
Cooks & Critters, a positive association in this case!
Those “Terns in the trees,” are adorable!
They are Fairy Terns and so aptly named! I am thrilled whenever I see one.
Thank you for sharing! They are so darn cute!
<3 <3
Spectacular! 🙂
Merci beaucoup mon ami <3

Amazing how good the image quality is for such a little sensor. Must be a good lens on that camera.
Quite the beard on that goat.
Yep, the lens is the deal breaker, up to 1200 mm equivalent zooom. It packs long distance punch.
its shows how amazing you are and your thought. Thanks for sharing good images too.
Ahhhh, your kind comment shows how thoughtful and kind you are. Thank you & be well my friend.

Yes, this is exactly what it is like in the holler, minus the chickens, turkeys, cows, horses, and boxers…..
My favorite, the goat in the garden. Personality plus. Then there were the two terns showing affection. Chickens on the chairs meant I would be looking carefully before sitting down. 🙂 And I thought “loud” when I saw the myna bird— if my memory serves me correctly. Fun photos and comments as always, Cindy! –Curt
Oh yeah! Lots of mynas in a tree means you will sleep only when they do, and chickens on chairs, well you have that figured that out…….. Safe trails Curt~
Like mocking birds times ten… 🙂 Thanks, Cindy. I hit the trail in 16 days!
Sooooo exciting! Best of luck to you! We just crossed a portion of the trail yesterday enroute
to The Salton Sea and I thought of you.
Ah, the southern desert part of the trail. I’ll be missing that, Cindy. Pleny of dry, hot country I have to cross in the southern Cascades. 🙂 Thanks! Exciting yes. Will see if my body agrees. No question where the mind is… but also a tad nervous. (grin) –Curt
I bet. God’s speed & enjoy. I know you will.
A big thanks, Cindy. Seven days from now it all begins. –Curt
Best of Luck!
Love your photos, Cindy. They always express your love for photography and nature. The terns in the tree is a real stand-out shot. Looks like you’ve captured an intimate moment. <3
Thank you for noticing the fariry terns! They are a vulnerable species, so rare for me to see. I find them to be so delicate and lovely and am pleased you agree <3
Great critter pics, Cindy. I especially like the chickens on chairs. 🙂
They are very smart chicks!! 😉 😉
I love the first two images best!
Thank you! They make me smile too. I love finding critters where i don’t expect them!
Thanks for the photos of a place that I’d love to visit!
You are most welcome and I hope you do visit and post about your impressions.
Wonderful photos! I especially liked the one of your son!
Awww, so sweet. I am partial to the guy myself. He is a very kind soul.
He must take after his mother. 😊❤️
<3 <3 <3
What a collection Cindy!! I’m hoping those are your chickens!! (beautiful photos, as always!!) xo
Not my chickens. These are Cook Island Chicks!
Such a fun post– with all your variety of animals wherever they were from! xox
Hugs & blessings to you Rhonda <3
Fun post!
The myna here reminded me of two myna birds I met a long time ago. I have never metbeen such talkative birds. They repeated words and sounds they heard, they’d alert the homeowner of people coming to the house, they call familiar names. What fun birds to be with.
Yes. I knew a Myna bird like this as a child. I was fascinated by him and visited him often, always greeted by his loud Hellllllooooooo!!!
🙂 I was thinking – one can not speak of secrets in front of a myna.
Laughing…..You think so well. The myna, and I, are impressed <3
Wow. So you went underwater to snap the shot of him?
We are all water rats…..
Cindy, these are great!!! I want to cuddle them all (not the humans)!!! I keep seeing your little gravatar on blogs I stumble upon, you get around supporting others : ) For some reason, your recent posts aren’t showing up on my feed. When I saw your head in a “like” today it reminded me how beautiful your photos are. I had to click on your name in my “follows” to see your site. It was well worth it!
Ahhh, what a lovely comment. Thank you Dawn. I have the same problem. Some blogs I follow do not show up in my reader, so I miss people’s posts which is frustrating. Thank you for making the effort & cheers to you!
Thought it was just me. Technology and I are not the best of buds 🙂 You are so welcome, it was worth it!
<3 <3 <3
This was a fun collection of critters, Cindy!
I loved your son, the girl and those birds!! 💐 🌸 ❤️ 💦👣
