twerppoet, do you know what bird this is?

<img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=44245"/>

I'm guessing perhaps not since you have named the file Mystery_Bird_5. :)

It looks like a cousin of the Green Heron to me.

You would be guessing right. I keep meaning to look it up, but I left my bird book at Mom's.
 
Thank you everyone for your kind words. I am not sure I deserve them. I told my brother the other day that I haven't had to take morphine at all this year and he gave me all kinds of kudo's which I pooh-poohed because of my pulse going so high when I get up, I DO very little other than lay on my back. So it was no big deal since I am not in the pain I was when I moved around. Here is what he sent me back :
Sometimes you get credit when you are not sure you deserve it, sometimes you get blame when you are not sure you deserve.

Accept the credit when it comes because you have no choice on the blame.

Love
Bruce.
With people like you, him and my friends how could I feel anything but blessed? I accept your words, cherish them and have more reason to carry on as I have because of them! Applause to all of you for helping me. Sincere gratitude from me to all of you for. Taking the time to read that and encouraging me along my way. I have been given so much by so many it would be callous of me to be anything but happy. Diane/squib. :-)

That's a great reply he sent you!
He must be a supportive, loving brother. :-)

He is! As we grew up on a farm and were the only people living at the dead end of a quarter mile road on 100 acres we only had each other to play with, my older brother & sister were always doing stuff with/for my dad and mom, respectively! So we were pretty much on our own to get into all kinds of trouble with, it was GREAT fun! Thanks, squib.

This sounds like you and Bruce were and still are very close.
 
Since we have recently been seeing different kinds of cranes I thought you might wonder at this photo!

ORIGAMI MICRO CRANE

image-33102070.webp

Artwork and Photography by JOAQUIN BALDWIN

In this macro photo, we see a &lsquo;micro&rsquo; origami crane folded using the tip of an X-Acto knife. The crane measures: 6mm square paper, 4mm wingspan, 3mm body.
The paper used was a super fine piece called colored Gampi paper. He says it took him about 30 minutes. See more on Reddit.

YUM YUM YUMMY! those are my favourite grapes of all. We rarely find then here. I don't suppose you could send me a little piece with a few tendrils of roots starting to grow? After all we are in the same country. I will pay for postage or any other cost -as long as it is not too much $., since I have none at the moment I know a friend who would be willing to cover the postage! Even if you have to overnight it si it doesn't die on the way! :):o n:thumbs::D
Squib. If not not to worry....I have managed this long with out my own vine!

Sorry it's not my vine. BTW, these grapes are dark purple when ripe and will be about the size of a marble. Right now, they're about a 1/16th" in diameter.
 
Yup, those are the one's I LOVE! They are kind of chewy ( is that the right word? ) or springy inside, right? Oh well, like I said no harm done. I am sure if I have lived this long without one I am sure to survive without them! Thanks for explaining! Squib/ grapevineless! :)
