For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! Looks like it will be another mild day, but right now it’s still dark, can’t see the moon or any stars out there. Which can only mean it’s cloudy. But Muffin remains at her window…looking. There was lots of birds at the feeders yesterday morning and it wasn’t snowing at the time so I quickly got my winter clothes on, grabbed my camera, turned it on and…battery was dead. I quickly changed the battery, then went outside and…nothing. Not one bird remained. They were gone. Completely. Then it started snowing. Sigh. So I came back inside, took off my jacket and boots, looked out the window and…lots of birds. It was still snowing lightly but I went back outside and…the birds flew away. Sigh. But not all of them at least, so I did get some pics.😀📷
Now on to the beauty of summer flowers…
I just had to share some more hollyhocks, they are just so bright and sunny, perfect for all these dull cloudy days.
Then there is this flowering shrub. I have no idea what it is and neither did my landlord, though it’s in her yard and she actually planted it many years ago. But it does have a unique cluster of flowers which makes it rather interesting.
That’s it for today’s picks of pics for your enjoyment. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Yes, I have it happen quite a lot, but this winter has been really bad for this. If I don’t have my camera, the birds will stay, but if I have my camera, they fly!😂😹 Thanks Ribana, enjoy your Wednesday!😀😸

hehe. The hollyhocks are 10 cm across, the plants will grow 2.5 meters tall, and even taller sometimes. The unknown white ones, the bigger white flowers are 2.5 to 3 cm across, the tiny flowers in the middle I don’t remember, but they are quite small. Enjoy your evening Simon!😃😺🌙🤪Chapter 2 of my new story comes out later today, which will be tomorrow so you would have to look for it yesterday while it’s today. Enjoy yourself!😵😛🤣🤪🙄
