Wood Stork, Cormorant, Great Egret

Good fishing day in the backyard for just some of the many different large birds we get to see!

2 Wood Storks, Cormorant, and Great Egret. These birds are 3-1/2 feet tall.

Secretary Desk Refinished

This desk was my grandmother’s Martha Talmadge somewhere prior to 1960. Then handed down to my father William G. Talmadge somewhere in the mid 70’s.  I remember this in my bedroom when I’d visit on the weekends.  In 2016 my father obviously got this crazy idea to paint it black and I think added the bottom shelf at that time.  I can see where a cross brace used to be, now this shelf.  He apparently found the wood (pine) for the shelf from something old from the Electric Storage Battery Company (now Exide battery company). He signed the bottom 2016 when he painted it.  After inheriting a few years ago and spending more than 30 hours stripping down and oil finishing it, it is now back, close to the origin condition.  They don’t make furniture out of solid oak anymore.

Backyard Birds – Ibis

One sole ibis walking around the backyard today, I am sure the others are near by, on the other side of the house in the nature preserve. I walked out to get close for the shots and a hawk swooped down right over the ibis as I was preparing to take the 45 shots to get these best 6. I guess the hawk might have had more in mind than just a few photos like me. Never walk alone!

Marsupial finds the honey hole!

For the longest time Brandi thought it was the squirrel getting into our bird feeder just outside our lanai. Turns out it is our possum we appropriately named Gimpy, he visits every night with a severe gimp with his rear leg.

Brandi says from the kitchen, “Oh look the large alligator is across the lagoon on the bank”. 10-11 feet.
