I didn't know Blue Jays could do that.



It's been a rough week.
I've been sick.
And we lost power for 24 hours...

so this will be short.

These are the trees outside the office where I work.



And this little critter calls that tree his home.



Hey, pretty bird!



Whatcha doing?





And then I watched in amazement as the bird swallowed the acorn...WHOLE.






Camera Critters is SO much fun! join us!

Hope you're feeling better! The blue jay photos are great! I thought about you when the storms rolled through. Keep safe, I hear there's more weather on the way.

Birds are cool! Who knew they could swallow an acorn. I'm sorry for all the crap you're going through. I know it's hard. My divorce was so hard!

Mariah said...

I'm sorry, maybe that was wrong of me to say. Probably didn't help anything and I don't even know the whole story. I'm here if you want to talk

Well why is there no picture of the acorn going down? I wanted to see! I do not like blue jays. They're mean.
