Macro Monday: Something made of rubber. This is an old rubber hose. It is so old that all the hoses made at that time looked the same. You could have it in any colour so long as it was black. This one was cut and spliced together. It harkens back to a time when things were not so expendable.

Saturday Self-challenge: Memento Being that it is Father's Day weekend here in North America I found this little treasure to share this week. I got this for Father's day one year as I would spend a lot of time perusing the newspaper in the bathroom. I found out that I was not the only person who did that. I still do, but now it is using the tablet and checking out news, twitter, etc.

We had a surprise visit to one of our bird feeders. It was the first time observation for me. A White-breasted Nuthatch. This is a typical position for them to feed. The work down a tree, unlike woodpeckers who have the tail feathers to support them going up a tree.
