Willy Nilly Friday, June 14, 2019

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

1. Cooler temperatures! (Sky Watch Friday)
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 12, 2019
We are enjoying cooler temperatures this week, but the heat will be back this weekend. Do you see the tiny object in the sky just above the treetops? It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman? ...

It is either a powered parachute or a powered paraglider. I don't know the difference between the two terms.

2. Favorite Photos of the Week

Mother, Daddy, and the little ones!

Come on in! The water is fine!

3. Farming
Lee County, Mississippi, USA, June 13, 2019
Making hay while the sun shines!

This is the first year I have seen farmers bundle a lot of bales together...



… and load them on a truck with a fork-lift, though it may be more common in other parts of the country.

4. Butterfly (Saturday's Critters)

I did not know that a butterfly could look intimidating until I got this view of a Silver-spotted Skipper!

5. Phoebe (I'd Rather B Birdin')
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, May 28, 2019
Eastern Phoebe, Sayornis phoebe. This cute little bird is nesting on my front porch! She keeps a close eye on me when I am out there watering my flowers.

Have a wonderful day!

  6. I enjoy seeing the geese with their young. Hay around here is always in giant rolls. Rare to see hay bales, anymore.

  7. It's been so wet here. I wonder when the farmers will be able to cut hay. AT least we haven't flooded like the Midwest. Send a tiny (just a tiny) bit of that heat here?

  8. Cool looking power glider! Yes, that butterfly looks formidable! Does it have a double set of wings? Enjoy your weekend.

    1. Silver-spotted Skippers tend to hold their forewings and hindwings at different angles instead of together as other butterflies do. They do look like extra wings, especially when viewed from the front!
      Have a great weekend!

    2. The longer wing is the forewing; the shorter wing with the silver spot is the hindwing.
