Oh. The Reason for LUCKY DAYS!

 Hmmm.  I posted my friend Silvio -  as his lovely look is an inspiration for feather finding -  but I mentioned Barry and how he was my lucky charm for actually FINDING them.

Here is Barry!

Lucky Days!

 Since I've started looking for feathers to "return to the trees" I have not been very lucky.  But it seems on the two days that I spotted Barry, the Otter, I have had VERY lucky days.  THREE feathers each day!

Now, I will honestly say that I get the photos of feathers confused hahahahah  I don't know which ones I have already taken  -  or which ones I have already posted -  but isn't that the point!  View them over and over and smile when you see them.   So that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

THIS is Silvio Feathers -  Wouldn't I love to find one of his feathers! 

Here are a few new (and/or old) photos of feathers I have smiled at over the last couple days.

I HATE HATE HATE that you can't put photos side by side without jumping through HOOPS!  What is with that @blogger?  

This is the previously hacked almost to non-existence 

"I have my eye on you" plant!!  IT IS BACK!

I've got to figure this out.  I know I can create a table in MS Word -  but REALLY!?!?!?! 

I'll be back! 

Changing Directions For a Bit

 While in Florida, I will be changing direction from BANANA RAMA DING DONG to "Feathers and Such"

A friend told me when she finds a feather, she displays it somewhere in the community.  Such a simple idea -  and I LOVE IT!  So I'm going to post "Feathers I Have Seen"  in this forum while I'm in Florida (along with any other surprise things that make me smile).

I would love to keep them "all in order" but I'm not really sure if that's even possible. So -  enjoy in whatever order they appear -  that's how I enjoy them! 

So here goes.  I'll post a few when I can.

This was the very first one that Suzie shared with me... and it happens to be in my "touchstone tree"... I know -  we are BOTH WEIRD! BEFORE the tree guys mauled this lovely palm, I would touch the exact same (now I must google for a name) BOOT on the tree as I walked by! 
"After fronds die and fall off, the frond bases, known as boots, form a spiked, crisscross pattern on the trunk."

She just happened to place one of her feather-finds in MY TREE - and neither of us knew this! 

ONWARD -  Some other feather-finds or placements:

This was MY placement on HER favorite plant.  I call it the eyeball plant -  I'm pretty sure that's wrong hahahahaha

Maybe I placed this one TODAY!  I go for days and days and never see a free feather (the ones ON THE DUCKS/GEESE/IBISES/ETC are off limits hahahahaha

Today I found THREE!  LUCKY DAY!!!

This one is on the way home from the pool.  Makes me smile every time I see it -  EVEN NOW!

That's all for today.  I have a bunch more photos -  I'll add them on another day.

So We Did A Thing

Stepping away from BANANAWORLD to say we DID A THING! 
It was a great day to see the Mimosa/Yale Road peeps!!

 

Been Too Long

 I really am not very good at this.  I take the pictures but fail when it comes to posting them.  I'll maybe do a couple different posts -  or just one. lol

These are from July 20th "or so" and Spin and Marty couldn't be looking better! 

Ah... the rare shot from behind photo!

Marty! It's all about Marty!

Marty... and the 4th of July! 

Spin (on the left) Marty on the right

Look how GREAT Marty is doing!  So happy we didn't give up!

And Now - There's MORE!

 So time kept marching on -  and we had lots of events and growing things here in Bayville.

Also, but not pictured... tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, portulacia, marigolds, lettuce (which was planted, grown, eaten and removed already) and then one day I got frustrated and thought "If Marty is dead anyway -  I'm going to do something DRASTIC"... and I chopped off MOST of Marty.

Two days later-  HE'S GROWING!!  He was in there after all!

And now it's JULY!  So the story of Spin and Marty will keep moving forward (just maybe not as often as last year)
