I thought I'd start this collection with Archie chilling out. He certainly knows how to make himself comfy.
Sammy having a nibble at the living rabbit food I've grown for him, it didn't last long once he'd got going on it. I'm pleased to say that he hasn't had any more problems with his leg.
I was thrilled earlier this month when I saw a male bullfinch in the garden. It's the first time I've seen one visit, I'm always glad to see new birds at the feeders. It returned the following day but I haven't seen it since.
I managed to find a lampshade I liked for my bedroom. It doesn't shade the light too much which is what I wanted, and it makes pretty patterns on the ceiling and walls.

I hope you've enjoyed this month's offerings.
Lovely photo's Jo. I am behind with my blog reading. Off now to read the one about Eleanors recording.
ReplyDeleteI know what it's like being behind with everything, it's been a very busy month. I hope you enjoyed Eleanor's recordings.
DeleteArchie always makes me smile. I see he's keeping his eye on you as you take his photo! :oD
ReplyDeleteArchie certainly knows how to relax. He was fast asleep when I grabbed my camera but woke up as it beeped when I turned it on.
DeleteI certainly enjoyed the pics...
ReplyDeleteThe bullfinch is beautiful and it must be a content doggie thing to lie on one's back with feet in the air as my Maddie does it all the time too.
Have a great weekend.

I was thrilled to see the bullfinch in the garden, I'm hoping that he'll make a return visit sometime. Archie doesn't have any problem relaxing, he's definitely contented.
DeleteYou got some great pet/animal shots, Jo. Usually they're hard to photograph. Archie looks like he needs someone standing over him with a big palm frond, fanning him as he lounges. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you're right there and he'd let you. He's such a pampered pooch.
DeleteA lovely selection of pictures. Archie made me smile, and lucky you seeing a bullfinch as it's a bird that I've never seen. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteArchie does like to make himself comfy. My mum and dad used to get bullfinches in their garden but they lived close to farmland and woodland, it's a bird I never thought I'd see in my own garden with lots of houses around. I just hope he comes back now that he's found a regular source of food.
DeleteGreat photos. I really like your lamp shade. I have a similar one - just exactly what I wanted.
ReplyDeleteI'm really pleased that I held off buying a lampshade until I found one I really liked, I think it goes really well in the bedroom.
DeleteA lovely collection of photos!
ReplyDeleteA bit of a hotchpotch again but it's good for the photos to get used.
DeleteLove the photo of Archie chilling out! Your new light is lovely and such pretty patterns when on. Now just a picture for the wall and all will be finished. We've no bird feeder, but were watching the birds in our garden yesterday morning and saw Eastern Rosellas checking out the bird box, so am wondering if they use it. Time will tell, but your bullfinch is gorgeous. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could chill out like Archie does, he always looks so comfy. I'm really pleased with the light shade, it looks lovely with the shadows cast around the room. I haven't started looking for a picture yet but I'm in no hurry. It would be lovely if the Eastern Rosellas nested in your bird box, it's so relaxing watching the comings and goings of birds. I'm hoping that my bullfinch visits again soon.
DeleteOh, Sammy is wonderful!!! Still smiling and would like to stroke it's belly! Sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy days and all my best from Austria

Sammy is a Rex rabbit, his fur is so soft, it's like velvet. He's such a lovely bunny.
DeleteI love the goose family! You can clearly tell the dad - in front, head up and in charge - and the mum - head down, treading carefully, waiting for the kids to catch up. You've even got the littlest one sitting down saying "I'm tired!" . What a great photo.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you're right. I think families must be exactly the same, no matter what the species.
DeleteArchie looks very relaxed, doesn't he! Your lampshade is pretty, I like how it casts the shadows too xx
ReplyDeleteArchie is such a lazy dog, he'd much rather be relaxing than running around. I'm really pleased with my lightshade, it's just what I was looking for.
DeleteLovely pictures. It is good to know that Sammy is doing well. xx
ReplyDeleteThe collar which Sammy had to wear definitely worked. He's getting on a bit, he's seven now, so it's nice to see him back to health.
DeleteA May round up already :-(
ReplyDeleteWhere is the year going to??? Where is the time???
Aside from that rant against tempus fugit, the pictures are lovely. Can I adopt Archie?
I can't believe we're nearly in to June already, your right, time does fly. I'm afraid Archie says no, he's very happy, and spoilt, where he is, unless you've got a big supply of treats and then he'd definitely consider it.
DeleteLike Mitzi I am also very behind with favourite blogs. Love the picture of Archie :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's that time of year, there's so much to do. Archie sure knows how to let it all hang out.
DeleteWhen whippets do that no shame laid back pose we call it roaching, and goodness whippets love to roach ... search google images for 'roaching whippets' and you'll see what I mean.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Sammy looking so well and Eleanor singing again :)
Ha ha, there's some brilliant photos on google. Archie loves to let it all hang out, he gets really comfy. We're all pleased that Sammy recovered so well, it was frightening seeing his leg so swollen.
DeleteI have been away for a short while this week so am quite behind in my reading of blog posts.
ReplyDeleteI've just seen this one and love the pictures of Archie and Sammy.
Hope you are keeping well Jo
All the best Jan
I think the photos have shown them doing what they do best, Archie relaxing and Sammy eating.
DeleteJust look at that tummy, ready for a good tickle! Lovely to see Sammy too.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the lamp find, it looks very shimmery.

Archie loves a good tummy tickle, he'll roll on to his back and wait until someone obliges. I love my lampshade, it was just what I was looking for.
