Down on the ground - Thematic Photographic

Sometimes you don't have to look far for a subject, it's just there on the ground.

You have not even have to be down yourself. It's amazing what you can catch just by bending and using a screen that swivels to let you see just what is there.

Of course you may not even have to bend for items on the ground.

This one looks like it has been there for a while.

To get the lowdown on what others found down on the ground just visit Carmi at Thematic-Photographic-354.

Homing In

Don't you just hate it when an uninvited guest drops in on a Sunday afternoon when you are trying to relax.

It's even more annoying when they insist on being fed and then refuse to leave. 

This what we have had to put up for six hours so far and all because it wants to show of its iridescent colours and a ring on each leg.

Homing in on the food

At least, so far, it hasn't bitten the hand that feeds it and as you can see from the video evidence, it's here to stay.

It's quite friendly unless you try to pick it up. Then it just turns its back on you and walks away. 

It did fly to the roof of the house next door when I wouldn't let in enter our back porch. It's still strolling round the garden although we have closed up for the night.

I can imagine the kerfuffle there will be if it wants to share a drink or a bath with Woody.

Guarding his 'pool'

Homer should have a loft to go home to. I just hope he doesn't encounter the local hunter in the meantime. 

That ginger cat would scare the life out of him.
