Bored on Easter - Spoofs & Plants & Animals

Phyxius

Well, I wasn't really sure if these should be in the Big Picture forum or here. I'm sure the Skipster will kick me out if I don't belong. : So, over Easter I was bored, but the weather wasn't behaving, it had snowed the day before and it was still cold and super windy. Well the birdies were hiding so I took a peep out and TRIED to set him in some certain locations. It sorta worked.

First though - Peach Tree


Pear Tree





Daffodil -



Pansy -



What's this?!?! A peep!



Where do peeps live? In birdhouses of course!



Lulu spies a peep (I didn't realize this was wonky until just now...will rotate)



And, Ruby with the Peep:

Nice shots Christina, did you build that Peep house? I'm coming for Easter!!
Lovely horse, love them.

Awais Yaqub

Nice photos loved that little house

Look, I know that you and I are almost neighbors. However, I can't for the life of me get my peeps to grow. Perhaps its your weather. 40 miles can make abig difference.

Or, better yet, are peeps the new crop for the former tobacco farmers?

Great shots.

Marshmallow Peeps

A big thing here in the states, most popular at Easter.

Thanks Marina!! Nope, I didn't build the Peep house, that's an old bird house that has seen better days. I made sure it was empty before I put the peep in the hole, I didn't want any disgruntled birdies!

Haha, thanks! I used a special fertilizer to give the peeps that nice pink glow. You know, you're right though most farmers in Calvert do not grow tobacco anymore. Soy beans are still a big deal, but the real money is in corn especially with the increase in popularity of Enthanol fuel. I wonder if we'll change our flag? I did think that the state quarter should have had a crab smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer, but apparently the powers that be thought the state house was more appropriate?

Haha, thanks Skippy : Yeah Peeps are marshmellowy goodness with a sugary coating. They're quite addictive even if you don't like marshmellows (which I don't). They're actually quite hard to take photos of they really mess with exposure!

I can't wait to cause trouble in Canada and Montana. You going to ask for that powdered custard?
