Bring on the Cabbage!

This Cabbage Butterfly feeds on plants, especially cabbage and broccoli.

This photo suggests the butterfly is saying, “Bring on the Cabbage!”

If you grow cabbage, they are not your friend.

On the other hand, if you view cabbage as a yucky vegetable, they may be doing you a favor.

Macaw Socially Intelligent

Macaws are intelligent, social birds.

Seeing them together makes me ponder on how some people are socially intelligent and some are simply clueless.

  • Do you have good social skills?
  • Does it come naturally or is it a challenge for you?

Koala Joke

Everyone says I’m the funny one in my family. Here’s one of my jokes. 

While he was mending fences out on the range, a devout Australian cowboy lost his Bible.

Three weeks later, a koala walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. 

Amazed, the cowboy gratefully took the Bible and exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!” 

“Not really,” said the koala, “I found your name written on the inside cover.”

Your Strength Can Be Your Weakness

This bison has thick hair which makes it possible to be comfortable in temperatures as low as 49 degrees below zero.

This strength becomes a weakness in the summer.

Fortunately, in the spring, it molts its winter hair.

Ride the River

This scene reminded me of the J.J. Cale song, “Ride the River.”

Floatin’ down that old river, boy 

All my worries far behind 

Floatin’ down that old river, boy 

Leave old memories way behind 

Yesterday is slowly fadin’ 

All my life I’ve been waitin’ 

For this time.
