Bird Feeders
This guy is kind of reddish/orange-ish...
I can't forget the hummingbirds. They really go through this sugar water! I love these little guys!
Taking a rest...
These Yellow Finches and are my favorite. It's so hard to sneak up and take a picture of them. They know when I'm waiting and watching for them...maybe I need to call my Secret Agent Mother-in-Law, LaLa to put up some sort of trap. Just kidding!!! I would never hurt them, but I would love to get a really close up shot. I guess that's a good excuse for a newer camera with a better zoom. Yes, I think that's the answer to this problem. Thanks for letting me talk this out. :)
Happy Day!

It's Finally Blooming
Herman had to be moved a while ago....he started getting a little claustrophobic in the back of the container...now he can see again!

Happy Easter!
HE IS RISEN...HE IS RISEN INDEED!
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! Romans 5:7-9
Have a Blessed Easter!

It's What's for Lunch...
You'll need some Flatbread. This is Greek Style Whole Wheat.
Spread some Hummus on the Flatbread.
Top with Mushrooms.
Slap on some Tomatoe Slices.
Now add Avocados.

The Pond
I love this pond...it's across from where we live and is a great place to go and take some pictures. I had a chance to snap a few today, while Rob was at the Dentist.
The Dentist office is in the background of this photo on the right hand side. I was wondering if the Dentist and Rob could see me taking pictures. I should have gone up to the window and waved. Just kidding...
I think this is a Canadian Goose. I looked it up on Wikipedia.com and it appears to fit the description. Here's what they have to say: "The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a goose belonging to the genus Branta, which is native to North America."
Flowers by a restaurant near the pond.

Sunday Sunshine!
Driving down the freeway...Note - Rob was driving, so you can rest assured that I wasn't multi-tasking today. :)
So nice to see our flag waving in the sky...This is really close to Rob's work, btw.
This was at the Auto Store...I thought I'd make some good use of time instead of going into the place with him. Let's just say, this is not my favorite type of store.
Cruising down the road...Oh, what a nice day for a bike ride!
Here's where we got gas. It's about the cheapest in town for unleaded - real close to our church.
Blue Sky!!!
Traveling down the road to church...
More Sky...
I Doctored, (used photoshop) on this picture a bit because it didn't turn out very good SOOC (Straight out of Camera). I just love all of the daffodils around this tree.
Love the white fence and the Cherry Blossom Tree....
Here's a picture of our church...I was taking a lot of pictures out of the sunroof of the car. I was in my chair with my seat belt on, so don't be calling the cops or anything...
Another biker...
This land use to be totally open - no trees.
Another view...
Oops....this is what you get for a camera that is on it's last leg...or maybe it needs more memory or...I don't know...It's not the fasted snapping camera, so you occasionally find that objects get in the way - hence the car! Ha, ha...oh, little did they know that they were going to be on my blog. :)
Church was so good! The Katinas were there and sang beautifully! We bought their latest CD. They are involved with the events of the upcoming movie, "The Cross." You can listen to their song, "Carry the Cross." Just click on the below link and watch them on the youtube video. They also have over 100 songs that you can listen to if you scroll down the page to "Sound Click" on the right hand side. Pretty cool! I like song #05 - Praise & #45 - Trading My Sorrows and many others...you'll have to check them out! They sing a lot of praise songs that you're probably used to hearing and singing in church too!

The Squirrel
Several years back we had a squirrel that visited quite often. My husband called him Ritchie. We name things..it's just something we do...Anyway, I don't believe this is the same squirrel. Ritchie appears more brown in color.
Some of these photos that Rob caught were pretty cool. He got so close to Ritchie...it's a good thing he didn't bite! (I should clarify that it's good that Ritchie didn't bite Rob, not the other way around)...ha, ha...
