In Daddy's Shoes

Must be the berries

This is a beautiful little native Hawaiian bird that flew into our window and got all disoriented. It allowed us to hold it in our hands (camera died before I got a photo of that unfortunately) and place it in this potted tree till it recovered and flew off.
This has been happening a lot lately and sometimes the birds don't make it.
I have a feeling that it may have something to do with this new dark purple berry that I've been seeing amongst the usual forest of weeds that ever-threatens to engulf our house and cottages.
It smells good and tastes good but I think the birds are getting drunk off of them.

In case you haven't noticed: Animal Bites!

This was so funny! The bird squawked loudly just as I was taking the picture and really REALLY scared Rose!

Don't you just gotta love how they stick their fingers in there anyhow?

Namaste - the white tiger

He either got into the tiger's cage or we must be in the Primates Section.

This is what happens to kids of artists on the fourth of July....

Dad got him that skateboard & he spray painted the bottom & arranged the stickers himself... red & blue; his two favorite colors
