Willy Nilly Friday, August 17, 2018

Willy Nilly Friday 5, Orange you Glad It's Friday, Sky Watch Friday, Signs
And on Saturday, Saturday's Critters and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. Leaf (Orange You Glad Its Friday)
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 6, 2018
The hot dry weather is beginning to affect some of our trees.

2. Warning! (Signs, Signs)
Florence, Alabama, USA, August 13, 2018
There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

3. The Most Interesting Thing I have Seen This Week
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 12, 2018
The Giant Mayfly, Hexagenia limbate, is widespread across North America. The long tail is not a stinger; they are harmless.

I put my hand next to it to show you how small this 'Giant' is!

4. Library Cat (Saturday's Critters)
Booneville, Mississippi, USA, July 23, 2018
I saw this pretty kitty sitting on the curb of the parking lot at the library. I think it lives next-door.

5. Geese (Sky Watch Friday and I'd Rather B Birdin')
Colbert County, Alabama, USA, August 13, 2018
I was photographing the Singing River Bridge across the Tennessee River when I heard honking!

I shifted my focus to zoom in on the sky, and look! A small flock of Canada Geese!

Have a wonderful day!

    ...many trees here are defoliating do to the dryness.
    ...these signs aren't as necessary today in this area.
    ...I haven't seen a Mayfly in ages.
    ...well read?
    ...a nice group out for a flight.
    Thanks Lea for stopping by, enjoy your weekend.

    That cat looks just like one I had in the past, Lea. Makes me sad that it is gone. And, it won't be long until the geese are gone, too, to their southern home for the winter. Fall is a sad time, don't you think... leaves falling, cold air, our favorite things heading south. But, it all will be back next spring.

    How neat to see the geese! AND...that Mayfly! WOW! How extraordinary. When I used to fly fish, a mayfly fly was one of my favs! Great photos!

    I remember looking for mayfly larva under rocks to use as bait when I went fishing with my dad as a kid. - Margy
