Rain Frances Creations ... Blink

 Blink

As "blink" was an almost impossible prompt, I thought I would add some more pictures from Spring in the Arboretum :)

Things seem to go from bad to worse here in the USA ... I don't know if our country will even be recognizable at the end of it's 4 year term.  All I ask is that you all be patient with us.  He does not represent the ideas or feelings of the American people.  We have anti-Trump demonstrations all across the country every day. and we are all hoping that if we can regain control of congress in 2026, we will be able to impeach him ... fingers crossed.  Meanwhile, I hope you are all enjoying a refreshing Spring.

Rain Frances Creations ... BBQ

BBQ

This is an awesome way to enjoy BBQ.  It requires a special grill, but it is worth it.

You crisp cook the greens along with mushrooms and rice noodles in the broth  around the edges and you cook the meat on the center.  Each person has a cup of their own sauce of choice to dip in(Usually hot vs mild) 😂.   It is delicious :)

Rain Frances Creations ... Favorite Birds

 Favorite Birds

It goes without saying that the Raptors are my favorite birds ... but I really love all birds and I have a hard time committing to any one bird or kind of bird as a favorite.  I have endless number of pictures of birds.  I have tried to gather a few of them, but, believe me when I say, I have only scratched the surface 😁

If I must pick a favorite, it would be the Turkey Vulture.  An often maligned character, who is an essential part of ecological balance.  The Turkey Vultures are social within their group.  When we rescued our Turkey Vulture he was unable to be returned to his natural setting, so he became social with his handlers.  He was playful and a joy to spend time with.  Everybody loved Turkey ...  

The eagles in the tree were in my front yard at our home on the lake ... I miss the joy of their visits.  The eagle in the center and on the bottom was a rescue which we happily were able to release after a short visit at the center.

Again, in a tree in my yard ... :)

If you want humming birds in your yard, plant Bee Balm .... they can't resist it :P
