Photo Hunt: Different

Filed under Photo Hunt, The Swamp

photohunter7iq.pngThis week’s Photo Hunt Theme is Different.

This downed tree is different from the one the Turtles usually use for their morning sunning.

We had an extreme drought here in South Georgia last year, with wildfires. This year we’re getting so much rain we’re flooding. The Swamp has had several trees fall already. The Turtles seemed pleased about this one for their daily sunning.

They usually line up according to size, largest in the front, which is different from this messy and unorganized formation.

PhotoHunt: Free

Filed under Cats, Photo Hunt, The Swamp

photohunter7iq.pngThis week’s Photo Hunter Theme is Free.

After Thursday’s post about my love for The Swamp, this week’s Theme Free was an easy choice. I can think of nothing that epitomizes “Free” better than Nature itself.

Our Swamp is completely “unmessed around with”. It is as God and all His wonderful creatures have made it. Free and Natural. So here are a few more photos of my wonderful Swamp.

In this one you can see some of the handy work of our Beavers. Isn’t it nice of them to cut some Free firewood for us? You can also see one of their dams in the top right.

In this one you can see Tucker, off on yet another Purrfect Adventure.

An added Bonus, our view is Free. Can you imagine what it might cost to hire a Landscaper to do this?

Thursday Thirteen #5 - 13 Things I love about The Swamp

My Valentine’s Day post is about my Love of The Swamp. My Thursday Thirteen is first. Scroll down for Karen’s Photo Contest #6. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thursday Thirteen - 5th Edition

Thirteen Things I love about The Swamp

As some of you know, I moved to The Deep South, Georgia a few years ago. While my home is in a lovely subdivision built in an old Pecan Orchard, my office is located at The Swamp! My former business partner owns an unoccupied home on two acres overlooking The Swamp. And while he hopes someday to move back into the home, it’s currently my Office! Here’s 13 of the reasons I absolutely love it!

  1. Tranquility. It is so peaceful! It even smells quiet.

  2. Natural, protected wetlands. Nobody will ever be able to build and obstruct the view!

  3. Cypress Trees

  4. The pair of Canadian Geese that migrate here to mate each year. They arrived about 10 days ago. We can’t wait to see the Goslings again this Spring!

  5. Red-Tailed Hawks

  6. Beavers and all 4 of their dams

  7. Racoons

  8. Woodpeckers. We have 2 different species here, but I’m not sure which ours are. One of them is quite large!

  9. The tall Georgia Pine Trees and Pine Cones.

  10. No Alligators! Whew.

  11. Our great neighbors. Everybody looks out for each other. They are the kind of neighbors that walk around to the back patio or just come in the back door. The kind of neighbors who bring you food when you’re not well. The kind that mow your yard.

  12. Many, many kinds of birds: Crane, Egret, Cardinals, Finch, Wrens, Mockingbirds, Dove, Blue Jays, Black Birds, etc…

  13. My cats, Gandalf & Grayson, love it here. They take full advantage of the expanded Hunting Ground!! Every day is full of potential for another new Purrfect Adventure!
