One-Liner Wednesday – Taking bunny pics

As far as taking bunny pictures goes …

I have a long way to go before I reach Mr. Antion’s level of expertise.

Photo #1: A bunny sitting with its back to me on a dandelion-filled lawn.

Photo #2: A blurry bunny running away from both me and the dandelion-filled lawn.

One-Liner Wednesday – A what kind of ritual?

A trivia Quiz question from the Facebook game.

In Scandinavia, what is “blodpalt”?

A) A desk from IKEA

One-Liner Wednesday – Nuh-uh

I don’t care if they’re bees or wasps, come summer, if I were squirrels living in those nests, I’d be packing my nuts and moving out.

Photo: In a tree, still with no leaves, four squirrels’ nests high up in the branches share the space with a bee or wasp nest that’s the same size. The squirrel nests are made of dead leaves and the other nest is white and round.
