Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics #117.
Good morning everyone on this very beautiful Sunday! I went outside to feed Sir George this morning and just had to stay out there for awhile. Sir George and I “talked” while he filled up with his breakfast. But there was just so much bird activity. The chickadees were waiting for their food as well. The little juncos, song sparrows and white-throated sparrows were also out there scratching away on the ground looking for their seeds. So many other birds were singing and chirping from the trees. There was robins singing in every direction, plus finches, song sparrow, a phoebe, flickers, pileated woodpeckers, all joining together in such a beautiful chorus this morning. Plus there were others that joined in once in a while, like brown creepers, a couple winter wrens and a barred owl hooting away across the street somewhere. I know there is a pair of them over there and they would be nesting now. I would love to get a picture of a barred owl, or any other owl for that matter. And during nesting season they can be seen during the day a lot too as they need more time looking for food to feed their hungry babies.
And now for two more pics from Singapore from my friend Hilary Tan, plus the last one is from Ciccophoto, hope you enjoy them…
This looks like a nice relaxing spot…
And these look to be more orchids of a different variety. I think they have a lot of different orchids at this place.
And just an added pic of brightness for your enjoyment today.
There we have today’s pics, a bit late again this morning, it’s these spring mornings that get me a little later, due to being outside more. I hope you all stay safe, have a wonderful Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

I read that sharks in the Canadian shores are harmless and maybe they hibernate like bears in the winter .True ?

We do sometimes get harmless variety of sharks along our shores, but they don’t hibernate, they do move on to warmer places though for the winter.

Like that young guy I saw last summer walking downtown, texting and he walked right into a tree. Right in front of 2 young women who walked past laughing as he got himself back on his feet. Must admit, I laughed too. So walking and texting is definitely dangerous.😂😹

I’m back, mainly because I didn’t go anywhere because I saw something that I needed to finish which I had started but in order to finish it I had to do something else which got me distracted doing something that I wasn’t planning on doing and finally got back to my original work and by that time I was too tired so decided to lie down instead so I’m back at the beginning. There is, however, a bigger mess now to deal with than before I started. Sigh.

Cannabis is different than prescription opioids, it numbs the brain so you don’t feel the pain, the others numb the nerves.
