A funny return from shopping.

A squirrel, birds, butterfly and bee variety to please your eyes.

You know that feeling when you return home and a hungry family is watching your every move. Carefully they scrutinise the parcels hoping that there is something for them.
One can see the anticipation in their innocent little eyes and it is always a warm feeling that one gets when they are satisfied.

As I parked under the carport we had the full attention of this little squirrel beggar, so I took some shots of him/her through the car window.

By now I think that you know that pleading "Please give me a nut" look.

So I popped out of the car and gave the squirrel a nut from my jacket pocket. Gone was the look and delighted the squirrel scampered off.

At the same time this butterfly decided to have a drink from the "Yesterday, today and tomorrow" flower bush.

And then Harry came off the carport roof to land near his love, Lady Sally.

Look how swanky he lifted his leg when he greeted Sally.
Marian went inside with the parcels as she knew what the Egyptian geese wanted.

Saly gave Harry some space to strech his wings and then when Marian emerged, they moved around to the garden.
Marian in the lead and the two geese followed her.

Then it was party time and everyone, including another squirrel at the back was happy.

On my way inside, we had this little bee collecting nectar and pollen in a flower.

And such is our family life. We like to feed at set hours, as the animals come to expect that, but at times we are delayed for one reason or another. One get's used to the avid attention of the little ones upon the return and the great thing is that there are never any moaning.

Two years ago "Squirry" the squirrels granmother woul jump onto the car's roof and as Marian stepped out, little "Squirry" would jump from the roof onto her shoulder and then start to search for nuts in her pockets.
Sadly squirry is long gone and none of the new generation are tame.

Which is a good thing, as wild animals belong in the wild.

And That's All Friends!
