This time of year when I go out on my usual walk I am not welcomed in the woods or at the pond. It is nesting season and I am buzzed by the hummingbirds, hissed at by the geese, dive bombed and heckled by the redwing blackbirds and the wrens just plain ignored others.
This Canada Goose had just finished hissing when I took this picture.

The turtles are busy warming up in the afternoon sunshine and not at all interested in passersby but watchful in case anyone/thing gets too close.

Scolding here:
I am not taking it personally because it isn't just me that is not welcome, every one and his dog (especially the dogs) aren't welcome either.
Lots of bird song and lots of activity, a favourite time for me.
I saw "The Good Lovelies" live recently, what a great show. Here is one of my favourite songs from the concert, "The Best of Me":
And a painting, this week a painting of a rabbit inspired by last week's post; it is a watercolour called "Hoppy?"
Thank you for stopping by, Happy Whimsy Wednesday, until next time...
