Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back into our lives 1, 2, 3

 Recently we started doing puzzles.  We have assembled some in the past but it's been many years.  Starting at the end of March, we did a 275 piece from Cobble Hill with birds and flowers.

Moving into April are puzzles two and three.  Second puzzle is a 350 Springbok with shells.

And now the one after that, the third puzzle, is a Glow in the Dark Dragon puzzle with only 100 pieces.  I don't have the company that manufactured this one.

Sunday Randomness #330: Desired Result vs. Unintended Consequences: Bird Feeder Edition

The pigeons swooped in at the rendezvous location.  The agile lead birds pushed and pulled at the red-capped feeders while the troops devoured the spilled feed down to the bare dirt, pecking and clawing over every scrap of seed and grain.  In a matter of seconds (that may have extended to a couple of minutes), it was all over-the still swinging empty bird feeders a silent testament to the quick teamwork of the flock. Not a single grey-feathered marauder remained to attest to the disappearance of the provender which was gone in a minute fraction of a day.

Sunday Randomness: #13 Sun and Shadow on a Mallard duck

 This juvenile female Mallard duck came visiting in early April.

Both pictures were shot on the same day near the same time with the same camera-just different natural lighting from nearby trees.  I wish she wasn't so blurry but she moved faster than we expected but she didn't seem scared.  She was more interested to see if there were food tidbits to be had in the lawn.
