My brother and I were working out behind the fence next to the preserve and I realized that things were falling out of the tree we were under, but there was no wind. It was the squirrels, sitting up in the tree dropping acorns and twigs on us! Heard their chattering as they did it. A couple hit me on the head and those things sting when dropped from 60 feet.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-66476494578904226962010-09-09T00:50:05.874-04:002010-09-09T00:50:05.874-04:00Glad I could help.

I thought they might be juveniles but didn't realize that there would be any this time of the year. Your photos are great. I loved the lighting on the bridge, and those holes in the rock for some reason, especially after you said about sticking your hands in them, reminded me of one scene in Roman Holiday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Holiday<br />Lovely post and thanks for stopping by!<br /><a href="http://anenglishgirlrambles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">An English Girl Rambles </a>DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-55227004254063708342010-09-08T13:20:31.050-04:002010-09-08T13:20:31.050-04:00Fantastic series of shots.

(We live nearish to each other.) I wonder if it means the bird is sick? I hope not. I hope it's simply maturation needed for color. Splendid photos.gelhttp://SoulCrayons.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
