Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday, Floral Friday Fotos,
and on Saturday, Saturday's Critters and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. Shiloh (Sky Watch Friday)
Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, May 7, 2018
We have had beautiful skies this week. On Monday we went to Shiloh National Military Park to check on the Eagles that are nesting there. The area around the nest tree was barricaded, off limits to visitors. The park rangers told us that one of the baby Eagles tried to fly too soon and is now on the ground. It appears to be unhurt, and its parents are feeding it. They said they expect it to be able to fly in a couple of weeks.

2. Blue Suede Cruise
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, May 4, 2018
Last Friday we went to the Blue Suede Cruise Car Show in Tupelo.

It was a fun day!

3. Favorite Photo of the Week (I'd Rather B Birdin')
Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, May 7, 2018
It looks like this Northern Mockingbird is singing, but actually it is scolding me for being too close to its nest!

4. Chipmunk (Saturday's Critters)
Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, May 7, 2018
I was very surprised to see a Chipmunk scurrying across the sidewalk at the Pickwick Inn Restaurant!

5. Clematis (Floral Friday Fotos)
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, May 6, 2018
Clematis vines get their name from a Greek word meaning 'a climbing vine.' They originated in China, but may be found worldwide now. I have long forgotten the names of the ones I have.

They grow best on a trellis in full sun, but are adaptable to partly shady areas.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Between the antique cars and the flowers, my day is made. (At least, it's finally green in upstate New York, too.)

  9. Wonderful selection of photos. The park sounds lovely and I'm glad the Eagle parents are feeding the baby that fell out of the nest. - Car shows are always fun, so many cool cars. The Clematis are very pretty, I have (or had 2) but sadly I believe my dark purple one died this past winter. Nice bird shot & such a cute chipmunk.

  14. Beautiful images. The purple clematis photo made me smile. They used to grow on the backyard fence when I was a child. Such pretty flowers. Cute little chipmunk. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    And who doesn't like clematis? So delicate!
