ROOSTERS AND CHICKENS OF ARROYO GRANDE

Here is a whole bunch of photos of these birds I saw when I last was there a few weeks back.  They even have a website about them which I never knew until I just googled it.  LINK

I never leave the area without making this area my last stop to say hello and watch them for awhile.  They're just so beautiful!

and THIS is a great site with 50 cool facts about Roosters and Hens.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A CRESTED SCREAMER?

We were visiting Atascadero Zoo up in Central California admiring the flamingos when i saw this Screamer showing off.  I was pleased to find that he was still there after two or three years ago when I first got his picture.

Doing a little research I found he is originally from South America.

SEE THE HUMMING BIRD IN THE CACTUS

These photos were taken at Riverside Botanical Gardens - if Mike hadn't pointed out the hummingbird I would have missed it. 

FUNNY!

KEEP GETTING BLOGGER ERROR CODE

And 3/4 of the time no blogs show up.  Just posting there here in case you are going through the same thing.  Finally got on to post this - I looked at the help forum and other people have reported the same issue.
Blogger really has problems these days.

PHOTOS FROM A TEENY TINY TOWN, HARMONY, ,CA POPULATION 18

This is a must see if you are anywhere near the Central Coast of California.  It lies between Paso Robles and Cambria - and it's a small town with a beautiful pottery shop and just a few other shops - it is the place if you plan a small wedding for about 40 people. 

Here are a few of the photos I took last month when we visited there.
