FFF Nature Friday - Window Watcher

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is the best Friday of the month because we celebrate Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday.

I have a little poem for you

Why am I stuck inside

Staring out at the grass and sky,

When the dumbest birds get to walk free,

I wish I was a wild turkey.

FFF and Nature Friday - A Wild Birthday - Part 1

 I, the Lady am stealing the blog today, to share with you my birthday adventure. Every year, I take the day off and do something. This year, I decided I wanted to go to Parc Omega.

Parc Omega is a 2200 acre wildlife safari park. There is a 12 to 15 km/8-10 mi of driving trails through a protected forest, where in most of the animals wander freely. In many places of the park you can feed the animals carrots. 

We started the day with a stop to buy about 18lbs of carrots. This was probably not fully enough for us, 20lbs would have been better, but Man had only wanted like 10, so it was a good compromise. Then we were off (making fun of the people who bought like 12 carrots). 

Here are some of the highlights of our drive around.

A Wapiti

The ones closest to the gate are the most aggressive and they will come in and take the carrots

Fallow Deer

Another Fallow Deer

Wild Boar

Elk from afar

Elk in the car

Up close with the Elk

Piggy Pile! 

They roam free but no feeding of the buffalo

Raccoon

The bear are behind fences

Artic Fox - also in an enclosure

About half way through the drive, and before it poured rain for about an hour, we stopped to walk the Alpaca. This was on my fun list, so we made it happen.

Man and Anika (or he isn't sure her name)

Now my FFF 

Animals, animals, everywhere

Can you fit inside my car?

Must enjoy outside

Come back next week for part 2 - Cocktails with the wolves

Thanks to Aunty-Yam and Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event

FFF Nature Friday - More Spring with Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends!

I am so excited, so, so, so excited, that it is the best Friday in the month. It is both Aunty Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday. 

Because I am not allowed outside (although I do try, try, try to sneak out), I have to take pictures from the Lady's phone to share with you. 

Here I go:

Deer visit my yard

I sniff the fragrant flowers

Life is so so good

This deer was actually seen away from the house on one of Lady's walks

Lady loves the smell of the trilliums

FFF and Nature Friday - Spring and Contest - by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is the best day of the month. It is the last Friday which means it is both Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday and I love them both. They are both so fun, so fun, so fun. 

I am so excited I don't know where to begin, where should I begin? What should be first!

Lady says I need to focus, focus, focus and she said to start with the FFF part, which will capture the nature, and I can do the contest last and build suspense, like a good thriller. So to build the suspense,  here I go.

Warm sun, warm sun,

I love you.

You make me sleepy,

yes you do,

You take away the snow

You make the flowers grow,

Warm sun, warm sun,

I love you.

The end

The early flowers are starting to appear. 

Now onto the contest.

I am sad to say, that on Wednesday morning, after some more guesses, we still had this snow.

Sorry to Fay, Phenny and Nelly, Walter, and Missy Mimi. We still had snow on your guesses. So close, so close, so close. Will there still be snow by the end of today or will one of the later guesses win. I will update you on Monday.

your poet and host, Styxy

FFF Nature Friday

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is the most exciting day of the month. It is both Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday and I am so, so excited. 

Because no one picked this week to guess about our snow (and don't worry, we have a lot, too much Lady says), I will get back to my contest next week. Contest hosting is fun, but it is hard. Styxy's aren't sure the love hard work. Stay tuned.

Now on to my post for this FFF Nature Friday.

My name is Styx and I love the sun,

It has been gone and that is not much fun.

It has been dark and grey and cold,

And seeing all white is getting old.

I hope that spring will really come,

So I can see green and not be as glum.

Hurry up Spring! 

Tigris has asked to partake in today and because Lady has stolen her weekly post, I said she could. From Grissie.

Get out of my sun. 

I don't care about snow because I live inside.

Let me sleep.

We hope you all have a great weekend!

your pal the poetic Styxy and Tigris (who is not poetic)

Spooky - FFF and Nature Friday

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We are grateful Lady misplaced the other set of costumes

Now for our FFF for Aunty-Yam and Nature Friday for Rosy and Sunny.

Gold days soon to pass.

White winter is on the way.

Breathe in the fall air. 

FFF Nature Friday - Autumn

 Well, it is the Friday of the month where Aunt-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday collide.

Are we done yet?

The following are pictures to show you that autumn is here - you can see the change in the leaves starting. 

Styx's FFF Poem (no AI used)

Geese, geese, geese,

I would love to chase the geese.

They are big and they are mean,

the meanest birds I have ever seen.

I would like to chase them away,

Doing so would make my day.

FFF Nature Friday - With Styx and Tigris

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

I am super excited because today I get to do both Aunty Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday. It is the best day, the best day!

Before I poem, I want to share a picture of me look at Gris' butterfly. This was before she decided it was hers and she wasn't sharing with Styxy.

Now here is the picture that is inspiring my poem. There were so many turkeys, so many turkeys, I couldn't count them. Lady said at least 20. At least 20, so many, so many. We couldn't even get a picture of them all. They were every where.

Now to my poem about them by Styx - not using AI

Sometimes when I am deep in sleep

I hear loud squawking, no a peep.

To the window I do go,

Where I see my turkey foe.

They yell and eat and make a fuss,

Hunting them would be such a plus.

To be living in nature deep,

When they leave I go back to sleep.

I dream about actual hunting,

Because staying indoors is stunting.

It may be safer, it may be ok,

But I would prefer to run away.

For now I will lay in wait,

Watching for an open gate.

I will get brave and off I will go.

Going wherever the wind will blow.

Until I  gets bored and wants to come back,

Hunting is not an easy way to get a snack. 

Maybe I would rather stay,

Inside the house day after day.

It is comfy, it is warm,

It is better than a resident dorm.

For now I will dream of another life,

And stay in the house with Man and his wife. 

I hope you liked my poem. 

Now, even though Gris won't share the butterfly with me, I am going to share this post with her and let her write a poem about the turkeys.

Scram.
