Thanks y'all and Happy 42nd Anniversary to you @Claudia! and Happy soon to be 36th to you too @Beckygardener!! I remember my mom telling me that the older you get, the faster the years seem to pass and boy was she ever right!! It seems like I just turned 67 and it was 5 1/2 months ago!!!

@Chillybean Kim ... I adore your sense of humor, your posts always make me smile! Thank you.

A little while ago my husband was outside with the dog and called me to bring my camera out saying there were Otters in the water behind the house. So, I managed to get a couple of pictures of otters and then a hummer flew right by me and went to the firespike flowers. I also got a shot of a juvenile Red-winged Blackbird that was perched on the power line.

The Otters are always fun to watch; there were 5 altogether but I only managed to get one shot with four of them, the others were all single. They are so curious and started swimming over towards our yard. They never get too close but it sure is fun to watch them, watching us! The lighting was off in a couple of the photos because of the sun glaring on the water.

I also managed a quick shot of this Dragonfly that landed on the tip of a Palm Tree spike and a little Green Anole Lizard peeking out from a tree:
