The birds were kept waiting for their morning nuts today and by the time I went out, the tree stump was decorated.
The message seemed reproachful.
.
“Where’s our nuts?”
.
Having the chance in recent years to observe Nature, I almost wish I could go back in time and become a fabric designer as there is so much inspiration to be found.
.
Nature provides amusement, too.
New Year’s Day saw a crow and squirrel competing for peanuts.
.
.
It surprised me to see this crow so wary of a squirrel.
.
As it reached out for a nut, the squirrel turned toward it and the crow flapped off in a panic, though it soon returned to sit on the path, reconsidering…
.
.
“Hmm.”
“How should I approach this?”
.
.
The squirrel saw me in the window and sent me a mind message:
“You watching this stoopid bird?
.
Maybe the crow intercepted the message because it launched into the air and tried an overhead approach.
.
“Yo!”
“Alright! You can have some nuts!”
.
By then, there were none left, so I had to take out another cup full but it was blue jays who benefited from that offering.
This morning it was starlings.
.
“Cold weather, missus. Keep ’em coming!”
.
Little Man finds it all most interesting.
“They’re going away. Quick feed them!”
So many demands.
.
Yes, our cats rule the household, and we just work for them! 😄😍😽
Yes, indeed, Carolyn, how do you cope with all the demands?! Thank you for your inspiring photos!

Squirrels can give you a nasty bite. Perhaps the Crow has been on the receiving end of such a bite in the past.
Best wishes, Pete.
We often have the battle of fur and feathers between Squirrels and Jackdaws or Pigeons!
Animals are often funny in these situations. 🙂
A joy to see we share and value the everyday which in itself is endless in its manifestations.
