Very Purty. I forget that your spring is starting now!
His spring is starting now. Still 1m under water here... (grump, grump)

Why thank you, Pip. I must say that it only rubs salt into the injury to know that all of the rain has been coming from the direction of Australia. Presumably they've been exporting it so they can enjoy their tulips undisturbed. Whereas instead of a sweet floral carpet like Justin's I have ducks fornicating in the swamp outside my window that used to be bush. Fornicating with extreme gusto and volume, I might add.
That's what double barreled shotguns are for.
Oh and ovens too.
... If the duck-hunting season wasn't over for this year. :-(
Still, I did see the top of a cabbage tree poking out of the water this morning, so there's hope. Justin still wins, though.
I'm with Valas on this, and you've my sympathies as once upon a time I had the luck of listening to geese gettin' their groove on. I'm still paying for the psychotherapy bill on that.
You could...always..."accidentally discharge" your rifle, yeah? As in..the direction of the, erm, duckfest-o'-love? How then could you be blamed for, erm, duck-hunting with that?
Given where you live ... who would know you blasted the buggery out of a few ducks?
- It seems somehow unsporting to shoot not only a sitting duck, but a duck that is sitting upon another duck, which is making bubbling noises as its head keeps getting dunked under water by the top duck. That hardly counts as "man, the mighty hunter, outwitting his feral prey".
No, but it'll mean the rest of the flock will get the idea to have their love-a-than somewhere else and not get turned into dinner.
At least if you did blast them, and then have them for dinner, they would be 'pre-sauced'
hehehe
OMG. It's true what they say about you Aussies, isn't it? You'll put anything on a barbie and eat it.
Yes, come visit, i've got an awesome Chianti i've been dying to try....
you sick, sick squid-billy.
Gross.
Get a dog. Specifically, one bred to duck hunt. Like a golden retriever or labrador retriever. That'll take care of your duck problem for sure.
Although it might just be replaced by a barking problem....
My dog (a duck hunting breed) has nearly dislocated my arm numerous times whilst trying to chase all variety of fowl she spots when we take walks along the lagoon near my house. Not quite sure she has a plan for what to do with them if she ever wins free of her leash, but damn does she scare them off.
this is me, wondering what sort of calamity would ensue if you were, to say, watch Hitchcock's The Birds with your dog in the same room. :D
Well, if you had your eye on that new Plasma HD TV, then you now have a perfect excuse to go buy one.
She ignores the TV. I've purposely watched the Discovery channel and Animal Planet when birds are flying and squawking around on the screen and while she's been in the room and she never notices. Not a single bird blip on her radar.
But as soon as we go for "walkies" and a bird shows its beak, the game of tug of war begins. *shakes head* I don't try to understand it anymore.
Gorgeous! I love the colors. :D
