What an inspiring happening for you @Patsy Faye. You never got yourself a horse? I'm too old now, and my neighbor is trying to train him to dance. They go on the trail rides we have around here every year. I do know that he never lets anyone else handle or care for the horse, so I try to keep my distance. I have no idea why the horse is attracted to me. I have never touched him, but he is so beautiful I just can't stop watching him.
That's a shame you can't go near, they sense our feelings and, before anyone says about feeding him, my relationship with this horse was remarkable and a leek is a vegetable that grew a plenty there. He could have his fill
@Patsy Faye Hordes of seagulls hang around here all winter, 200 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, but nonetheless attracted by the Colorado River, which is rife with food for them. They are far larger birds than I ever pictured them, quite a bit larger than typical chickens, and have very large wingspreads allowing them to sail along seemingly effortlessly. Here is one this past winter, serenely posing for my wife along the riverwalk. Appears to be a well-fed bird oblivious to the human parade walking by. We humans believe we have mastered "existence", but I DEFY one to perch on a ball like this, much less the one we saw doing so on one leg! Frank
Great picture Frank I like seagulls when they are near to the sea and not inland The past few years here, they have come inland, roosting in chimney pots They are rife here, everywhere you go - so they have become a nuisance, sadly @Frank Sanoica
Talking of seagulls, I just thought of a joke that always makes me giggle - its not me own joke though .............. What's the name of the bird that lays square eggs ...............? The 'Ooo aaa bird' (I'm lolling - even though I've told this a thousand times)
Lol, now I'm laughing too....only one not laughing is the poor bird. Makes me glad I didn't have cube headed babies.
@Chrissy Cross - I've given this bird some thought and I think it should be called - the 'oo aa ow' bird
Goody ! Did you know there's a bird called the 'Booby' bird - don't know why, they are smashing birds with blue feet they dance on them feet too - very cute
Yep I knew about them. In my post about my niece's trip to the Galapagos I have some pics they took of some birds with blue feet...a whole bunch of them. http://www.seniorsonly.club/threads...ust-finished-her-second-year-of-college.7108/ Post # 14
