I'm just not home much these days. It's Spring Migration and Breeding Season, so the birds are calling me to come find 'em...early to bed early to rise; I'll catch you later...out birding!! I thought today, for a bit of laughter, I'd share some of the comedic poses I've witnessed and captured 'on film'...
"Why are men so puzzling?" -first photo
and
"I'm auditioning for Dancing with the Stars!" -second photo
...then, this
"How many times must I say...'I can't cook!'"
"Me thinks I bit off more than I can chew!"
More? Okay you pulled my leg. But just a couple...
"Who needs acupuncture when I can do this?"
"Whoa...one too many...steady ol' chap!"
..."Must be something in the water!"
Bird Species from top to bottom: Cattle Egret, Reddish Egret, Common Tern [Forster's Tern], Great Blue Heron, Red Breasted Merganser [female], and Bufflehead Duck [male]

Spring Training for pro baseball is over, the season begins!! Where there is a ball field, there are fences....

And last but not least, the moody skies of the Coastal Bend- -
 Remember, if you ever feel cold go stand in the corner....they're usually 90 degrees!!! |
Now this is a great way to start my day off. A blog post full of smiles. Love the birds with their humorous poses and your captions are just perfect for them.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how we got snow last night, I guess I'll be spending the day standing in the corner
Snow? Okay, remain calm, it's a Spring storm. It'll go away quickly. In the meantime....stand around the corner & stay warm.
Deleteyou made me smile, thanks.
ReplyDeleteGood!! Thank YOU, sweet Denise.

ReplyDeleteThanks Martin.
DeleteYour blue bonnet flower looks a lot like what we call lupine. Coffee is on
ReplyDeleteI don't think so....the lupine are much taller and spindly, while the blue bonnet is quite compact in stature.
DeleteSure like those bird poses and your captions with them.
ReplyDeleteYour comment makes me happy...was hoping you'd enjoy them Paula. Thanks.
DeleteI love your bird pics - and the captions! Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mari.
DeleteThat scratchy duck is very cute. We are looking at ballpark fences everyday around here!

DeleteI like the duck too.
Thanks Michelle.
Those bird shots were hilarious.

ReplyDeleteThey do make a ruckus to be sure. Thanks Adam.
DeleteI love the blue bonnets...I would love to see the fields of them for myself some day. Enjoyed your funny pics...my funniest pic ever is <a href="http://picsandpiecing.blogspot.com/search/label/geese.%20funny>here</a>, and honest to goodness it is not altered other than cropping and resized.
ReplyDeleteOMG....flying upside down!! Definitely something in the water!!! lol
DeleteHa ha like that ..... "Why are men so puzzling?"
ReplyDeleteI keep asking that myself. LOL
DeleteThanks for the trip around Texas Home Anni. You made me smile some and when we eventually meet up I'm sure we'll never get any birding done cos we'll be too busy joking around.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your ball game - is that soccer? Or maybe even cricket?
Actually this is a softball diamond. In a little town not far from here. Oh yes, I look forward to meeting you Phil. And your wife too.
DeleteThat is such a funny post, I really enjoyed it. I really like those Terns as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to read you enjoyed the humor in my post photos today Findlay. Wish I was going with you and your father for the bird ringing!!!
DeleteAnni your captions under the photos are hilarious!!! How long did it take you to come up with those? Not one of those fine feathered friends had a carrot either. If I had the birds to see that you do I'd be out birding too.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhh you know I like chocolate..don't tell Madi it isn't good for me.
Well it is but as with all things delicious it is good in moderation.
HUgs to you and Madi sends nose taps to Tahoe and Winnie
Cecilia
The captioning was simple enough. No thinking to it. The words just hopped onto the blog via the keyboard with no strain. LOL
DeleteThanks M&M
I love your captions and the corner joke, Anni - I'm smiling as the snow falls here in Breckenridge!
ReplyDeleteTypical Colorado Spring. My sister says it snowed at her house too...in Montrose. But, I'm sure it's gone by now. Who knows.
DeleteSmiling ,Nette
ReplyDeleteGlad the post put a smile on your face Nette.
DeleteWe went to Phoenix for Spring Training. It was a good way to get south for some sun and lots to do. - Margy
ReplyDeleteBud and I lived in Tucson, where the DBacks and Colorado Rockies did their training [no longer do they train there]...and we went to EVERY game. lol
DeleteThank you for all these great comic bird pictures. I had a good laugh :-). Thank you. The texas state flower is so beautiful.

Thanks....but these flowers are the wildflower, the bluebonnet!!
DeleteThe birds look so sincere. It seems like they just don't think what another creatures think about them :)
ReplyDeleteClaire? Your profile link is broken...it's taking me to somewhere I don't want to go!!! As for the birds 'thinking' about what others think about them...I doubt it, they're only here for surviving and procreating. Right?
DeleteI alway enjoy the Bluebonnets.
ReplyDeleteMe too Tom!!
Deletei love the gulls! the boys started baseball a couple of weeks ago, first game next saturday...hoping for warm weather for it as it hasn't been all that spring like yet! thank you for linking and have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteWay up north...it's like the song, when it's springtime in {alaska} Wisconsin, it's 40 below.
DeleteI enjoyed this post! Great shots!
