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

Click on the photos to see them at their best.

1. Wind and Rain (Sky Watch Friday)
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, October 31, 2019
It has been a week of wind and rain with falling temperatures.

2. Kroger (Signs Signs)
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, October 24, 2019
Signs at the Kroger Grocery Store promoting their on-line ordering service.

This one is for you 'couch potatoes' out there!

3. Cotton Farming
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, October 4, 2019
The majority of the cotton grown in our area was harvested in October.

4. Butterflies (Saturday's Critters)
Colbert County, Tennessee, USA, September 29, 2019
These butterflies are 'mud-puddling' - extracting salt and other minerals from the wet ground.

5. White Pelican (I'd Rather B Birdin')
Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, October 27, 2019
The way this White Pelican is holding its wings suggests that it has been injured and cannot fly. But there are plenty of fish in Pickwick Lake for it to eat, and our Winter weather will not be too cold for it.

Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Mud puddling, and ordering potatoes from your couch. A nice way to start the day.

    ...clever sign.
    ...I've only seem a field of cotton once, but never seen it baled up.
    ...what a cluster of butterflies.
    ...the pelican does seem interested in having it's picture taken.
    Thanks Lea for,stopping!

  3. That's the first time I've seen cotton like that (baled) and I hope it's not still picked by hand.

    1. The newest cotton picking machines pick it and bale it, and deposit it in the field. Then a tractor moves them all into one place, and another tractor with a lift on the front loads the bales on an 18-wheeler's trailer.
      The only time you see hand-picked cotton is at Heritage Day Festivals where they have a small cotton field planted for children to pick a few bolls as souvenirs to take home with them.

  9. Beautiful and unusual to see all those butterfly's on the ground. Great photo! It will be interesting to see if online shopping becomes our new "normal" way to do the grocery shopping. I've never tried it for groceries.

  11. Terrific shots, especially the butterflies all puddling. It is great to see so many getting their mineral requirements.
