Any readers, check them out at the top link (321photos) on my page.<br /><br />Penelope, so glad you enjoyed the post. I admit that watching that skunk get closer and closer in my view finder did make me quite nervous:)<br /><br />EvenSong, we are all pretty much guessing, so your suggestion is as possible as any we have come up with. I'm still hoping she is just waiting until she's ready to lay her eggs before setting up residence in the nest. And yes, smiling puppy-dogs make me happy too:)<br /><br />Jean, the one possibility I hadn't considered. Now that would be something for the record books:) And, the Foxglove info is really appreciated, and fascinating! I like the fable too, although I suppose the chickens might have preferred one of the other stories:) <br /><br />MarianneBill, sometimes, I am patient, but in the case of the otter, I was truly lucky. I came out of school and there s/he was, just climbing up on the log with the fish.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-32369018599475100192010-05-28T07:39:09.279-07:002010-05-28T07:39:09.279-07:00Once again great photographs and you or either ver...Once again great photographs and you or either very lucky or very patient...I think the latter!<br /><br />Thanks Carol!MarianneBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472829419670115136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-20944362502411835872010-05-28T06:49:59.326-07:002010-05-28T06:49:59.326-07:00Hmmm.....Stanley is AWOL, Olivia is AWOL... they h...Hmmm.....Stanley is AWOL, Olivia is AWOL... they have forsaken their mates and run off together! <br /><br />The unnamed flower is called Foxglove. There are several different stories about how foxglove got its name. Some say it used to be "folks glove" and that the word "folks" used to refer to fairies (therefore, "gloves worn by fairies"), while others say it comes from the medieval "folks' glauve", in which a glauve is a small bell, or Anglo Saxon "foxes' glien" which was an array of bells used as a musical instrument. But my favourite is a fable about some fairies who befriended a hungry young fox who had never learned to hunt; the fairies gave him soft gloves for his paws so he could silently sneak up on the hen house to kill the chickens! I seem to recall there was more to the story - in which the fox learned only to take what he needed to survive - but my memory of it is fuzzy.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-35108722333818314842010-05-27T12:03:42.799-07:002010-05-27T12:03:42.799-07:00Love smiling puppy-dogs!

(Tongue-sticking out dogs--and humans--can be fun, too.)<br /><br />Is it possible that, after the storm damaged the osprey nest, Olivia found another spot to "start over", and Lawrence is just visting the previous year's nest for "old time's sake"? Don't wait to be a spoil-sport, but just wondering if this could explain her absence...EvenSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032555334605790413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-86296767115087472382010-05-27T09:40:13.360-07:002010-05-27T09:40:13.360-07:00Wow … you really outdid yourself, Carol.

I laughed out loud at the similar photos of Bill and Black Jack. This was a playful entertaining post all the way through, from seeing Black Jack romp the rocky terrain, to meeting handsome Sam, to seeing the otter enjoy his catch. The fuzzy shot of the skunk only proves your dedication as most folk would run, not stop to take a picture. :)Penelope Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965692242969563279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-17215567706874511372010-05-27T09:09:13.821-07:002010-05-27T09:09:13.821-07:00I enjoyed your stories and photos as always Carol....I enjoyed your stories and photos as always Carol.
