Those are black bamboo shoots coming up. I’ll cut them tomorrow as I want to keep that area clear of bamboo. I’ll let it grow on either side. Thanks, Leenda.
it’s a great pic of that solitary bird perched on that tiny twig; I was listening to Bob Seeger’s ‘Against the Wind’ on the drive home ; I was drawn to this post —
I’m happy you asked. Otherwise, I might not have been alliterative today. I’ve been outside cutting dead canes out of the rose bushes. I look like I lost the battle. I just got back from waiting in line to get a pizza. The other people in line asked me what I was fighting with.
Off Center & Not Even 
Beautiful blooms!
Thanks, Liz.
What are the…. sticks??

Very cool. I hadn’t heard of black bamboo. Thanks for the info!!!
I’ve done a lot of posts with the black bamboo. It’s a significant part of our landscaping.
Well, I musta spaced out! I love bamboo.
Thanks — I couldn’t figure out what the devil I was looking at. LOL.
I cut them down this morning. I don’t want bamboo in that area.

Love the solo bird images and roses. Even the cats seem perched, waiting to strike!
Thanks, Brad.
Flowers and cats…doesn’t get any better than that.
Thanks, Gigi.
😊
Thanks, Gigi.
A lovely series of photographs
Thanks, Robbie.
My pleasure
That bird on a stem is awesome; very Musashi
Thanks, Craig.
the last picture is especially stunning.
Thanks, Shey.
That box seems to be very popular as a resting place!
Risky birdy and beautiful shots!
All boxes are popular with the kitties. Thanks, Marina.
Do they have to book their times to perch on the box? That second rose is absolutely breathtaking!
No booking of boxes. They box over the boxes, and the best boxer gets the box. Thanks, Dale.
I figured that might be the case but thought I’d ask anyhow 😉

There ya go. Glad I gave you the opportunity!
And haha! I know exactly what your arms look like!
It looks like the bird could fall off the branch but there it sits.. extraordinary capture, Tim! 💕
Thanks, Cindy.
Love that last photo!
Thanks, Tiffany.
A fun collection, Tim. How long until Spunk figures out how to open that mayonnaise bottle? 😉 Hugs,
I think he see’s it as a threat. Thanks, Teagan.
I remember that song “Against the Wind”.
I love old Spunk! Is he drooling?
He seems to be. He might have been jugging before that shot. Thanks, Lavinia.
A great theme for a song, Timothy 🎶
You should get together with Bob Seger 😎
But Señor Seger doesn’t like Rock or Metal. He tried to unplug Dylon. Thanks, David.
So! He was forcibly retired 🤔🕶️
No more old fashioned Night Moves 🥲🕶️
I was thinking of Pete Seeger. My bad.
Hahaha – I am the Egg cat
I am the Walrus-Poo 💋
Ooo Coo Caa Poo 💋
Hahaha! Thanks, Resa.
Careful with them eggs kitties….probably still expensive when this post was made.
$19 for that box of eggs. I noticed they were down to $16 yesterday. Thanks, Brian.
Gorgeous blooms and kitties …
Thanks, Julie.
