Floral Friday Fotos
Oxalis, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, December 6, 2015

Oxalis blooms are very small, but what they lack in size they make up for in hardiness, blooming almost non-stop.

Friday's Hunt
The prompts for the Friday's Hunt this week are:
Starts with B, Week's Favorite, and Outside

Starts with B
Booneville, Mississippi, USA

This 1967 Huey helicopter on the courthouse lawn is in honor of and a memorial to veterans of the Vietnam War.

Week's Favorite
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, January 6, 2016

Good thing this calf has on its winter coat as temperatures are dropping below freezing at night. (Yes, it does have shelter from the wind and rain, and has plenty of hay to eat).

Outside
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, January 7, 2016

With this week's dreary weather I knew that to get an interesting outside photo I would need to include animals. The Canada Geese at Ballard Park posed beautifully for me!

Happy Friday!

Friday's Hunt, January 1, 2016

Friday's Hunt and Sky Watch Friday

A new meme for the new year! - a photo hunt! - Friday's Hunt begins today at Eden Hills!
This week's 3 prompts are:  Starts with A, Week's Favorite, and Celebrate

Starts With A
American Coot
Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, December 7, 2015

Chunky birds with large feet, American Coots are strong swimmers. It takes a lot of wing flapping and frantic foot action to get them airborne. They eat a variety of grasses, seeds, grain, and aquatic plants.

Week's Favorite
Hummingbird nest
Hummingbird Nest, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, December 24, 2015

The Hummingbirds leave our area in September to winter in Mexico.  I found this nest on the ground after strong thunderstorms passed through our area last week. I am expecting the baby birds raised in this nest to return to us in the Spring. (But, of course, there is no way to know which ones they are)

Celebrate
Christmas Joy

Lee County, Mississippi, USA
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
 
Sky Watch Friday
 
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, December 31, 2015

Our week began with heavy rain, but now skies are clearing with several days of sunshine in the forecast.

May you be richly blessed in the New Year!
