You can now access a video from the top menu. The short video was shot with a Olympus FE-210.  It shows the turkeys  at the base of the feeder. Every morning at dawn, popcorn and toast is spread along with ground feeder seeds.

Found another online Canadian source for the ‘Espresso’ geranium, this time Spring Gardens. They are associated or a branch of Brecks’s. I received by mail an offer for 50% off catalog prices on 64 shade plants. Instead of the usual catalog, these are printed on individual pages with the botanical name, price and other information, some are real tempting.  About half of my property is covered with trees.

I visited the site to find out what else they have and found the geranium in the Sun perennials section. According to the description, they are ‘deer resistant.’ I do get them from time to time, but mostly my visitors are from wild fowl. You can see them in the Nature Album and a previous post.

Mallard ducks visiting the feeder. The male also checked out the swimming pool. I’m hoping to raise enough funds to add a pond. We are always looking for ways to help wild life.

New to the nature album. Grey turkeys have joined the flock visiting my feeders every morning. They are very alert and can spot any movement. I used Topaz Details to enhance one of the photos for a postcard. Some of the other Postcrossing members like to get postcards with wild life. I now have a few of those.

I will start a new album of the postcards I’ve received, so far only 5. I’m posting a few myself today. Check out the new Grey Turkey Postcard and see what you can do with Topaz Details

New photo added in the Nature album. The little guy was raiding my bird feeder and tried to escape when I came out with a squirt gun.
