I can't show you any April rain....
I can't show you any May flowers..
but I can show some different creatures who come to the water dishes and bird feeders that I keep out.
I like to provide extra water and food for the animals in drought conditions like Texas is experiencing.
A fairly large lizard....
A copperhead that came a little too close for my comfort...
A beautiful painted bunting...
As a matter of fact, one of my favorite things in the whole world is to watch a bird bathe in the bird bath. I love how they splash the water over their backs and preen their feathers. I also love to turn the sprinkler on low and watch from a distance as the birds fly through it.
Deer and bobcats come regularly to my tank, as do the wild pigs. My only problem is trying to keep my eye on my little dog Amos. I don't want him to suddenly disappear. I just want to help the animals who are looking for water, it's getting hard to find. Maybe we will get May showers.....soon.....
Dear Rebecca, I'm sorry that you are sick of the rain. I know how you feel. I remember one year that it rained almost every day and I felt stuck with 2 kids under 3 years old. We made a game of putting on rain boots and going to throw rocks into the many huge puddles. I kind of miss that right now. Hope you get a break soon.

Love all your photos! Especially the lizard! :) Wow!
Thanks for your comment on my blog!
Such wonderful photos!!
yikes! Here it is Friday and I am just now commenting on LAST week! aye yiyi.
I KICKED myself for not getting out and taking pictures of the flood damage around these parts. The park near us was completely covered in water across the road and into a farm. It must have been four feet under in spots, fences were washed away. It is amazing to know (and sometimes hard to remember) that there are people who are struggling with the EXACT opposite circumstances! Sending WET wishes your way! ;-)
PS-bobcats and wildpigs?! In your yard? eeeeek!
