Front Yard Flower Pot - March 28, 2012
I planted these pansies in this pot by my garage door. The very next morning, the deer had eaten all the blossoms off of them. I'm waiting for more buds too come now. <grin> I have planted a lot of marigold seeds in the same pot & hope that the deer don't like them as much. The deer even ate the top off of one of the cactus. You can also see some of the cobalt blue bottle in my side garden in this photo.

Oak Movable Teddy Bear - March 3, 2012
I also love working with wood and have my own band saw and drill press. I drew the pattern for this bear. It's made of five different pieces. After cutting out the pieces and sanding the rough edges, I stained it with dark walnut MinWax and let it dry. Then I wired the legs and arms onto the body of the bear with twisted picture hanging wire and coat buttons. I have made hundreds of these bears over the years. It sits on top of my roll top desk.

Bald Eagle in Backyard - March 1, 2012
When I got home from lunch today with a friend, we saw this bald eagle in the tree behind the houses. He had a white head and white coloring under his tail feathers. Since I don't have a great zoom on my digital camera, this is as close as I could get for the photo. He started flying around in circles when I got closer. There was also another eagle circling around in the area. I am hoping that they are going to nest in an area tree in our neighborhood.
