When I started this blog, I decided not to post endless pics of my children.  That’s what I’ve got a mommy blog for, right? Right!

 

But every now and then I just have to post a picture that came out really well…

 

 

This is something we see very seldom, a misty morning.

Misty morning

You don’t?  Here’s the link to the first post about them: Spotted Dikkop

 

One of their eggs disappeared from their nest.  For a while they were very upset with anyone coming close to their area.  They’d stand there with their wings spread, hissing at the intruder.  Eventually the little chick hatched.  I took these photo’s soon after the little one got active.

 

Oh Yeah?!

 

A family portrait

It’s been a while since I’ve posted pictures.  Here’s two that I took in my garden. The first one just screams “that’s life…” to me.

 

 

He walked up and down the fence staring at his adversaries on the other side. The moment the woman opened the cramped little box he was stuffed in, he realised that freedom wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. The others are just bidding their time. Tonight they will be chased into the same cage. Seven against one isn’t very good odds, but he’s the only one that will be staying. Soon the only one that will have access to the ladies.  His competitors will leave one at a time. In the mean time all of them are sizing up the competition through the fence. Puffing up to appear bigger. Shaking their feathers and crowing as hard as they can. Tonight there is going to be one hell of a rooster fight!
