Letter "E" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 11 and Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures
- Tom's this Week's Prompts: Starts with "E." A Favorite. "E"arly.
We both were watching the little tugboat move our ship away from the dock where we boarded.
But Mrs. Jim (here) caught me taking her picture. Most time she humors me and doesn't complain. Mostly, when I'm driving she isn't real keen on that, me taking pictures.
- James' request, "Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures."
_ _ _ _
Starts with "E": Egret starts with an "E". You can read more about this one here (she/he got killed--on the bridge never more). Some of you probably have read about it in poem form. I won't forget this bird.
A Favorite: This little rabbit and his little brother were side by side under a tree Eating, nibbling on some grass. By the time I was ready to get for picture taking they had separated so that I could only get one. I chose the closer of the two, big brother.
.
Tom's suggestion, "Early": Early to Bed wasn't the issue here, back in 2011. (Katrin, still asleep here, died in 2013.)
"Katrin had a perfectly good bed. But when we went over to pick her up after our return from visiting Karen's in London there was no bed for her. The lady who keeps her was out and her husband could not find the bed.
That was not a problem for the moment although I helped him look for it we both gave up on finding it. When the lady came home she called Mrs. Jim per instructions as the husband had given us too low a figure for her keep.
After settling on the fee, Mrs. Jim asked about the bed. She said to come on over. When Mrs. Jim got there this new bed was waiting in the utility room for us. Of course, it wasn't Katrin's bed, not the one we had brought.
Then the lady fessed up. Another dog that she had named (neither of us can remember that dog's name) had attacked the bed and chewed it up until it was in pieces of foam rubber scattered on the floor.
We don't know who paid for this new bed. Mrs. Jim knows the dog's owner. Either the owner or the keeper lady paid for it. We don't care who. And Katrin is happy so all is well.
Oh yes, we think Katrin had brought a toy, a little stuffed chipmunk. We think we are ahead so the toy wasn't made an issue."

...EGERTS are ELEGANT birds!
...little rabbits aren't friends of mine, they EAT a lot more than just grass.
...Jim, you stepped across the line.
Thanks Jim for stopping by, ENJOY your weekend.

Rabbits are protected species here, as are alligators. They were here before humans. But the hawks are keeping the rabbit population down.

Jim That "look" says it all from your wife! That bird is a Heron not an Egret. They are both in the same family. I hope you have a great week ahead and thanks for your comments on my blog
Egrets are beautiful birds. This one looks very tall, standing on the bridge! I also used "eating" this week. I hope Katrin was spoiled and lived a good, long life. Have a good week, Jim.

Love the heron on the bridge! Awesome pic. Mrs. Jim seems to have the same attitude as Mr. Betty when I try to sneak a pic of him. :)
Well on the bright side at least your dog got a new bed, I admire them for trying to make amends. As for rabbits, they are classed as a pest here, shame cos they are cute.
