Midweek post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well! the weather here has improved and spring is back, which is very enjoyable. Today I have another of my ladies to share, a rather quirky one this time, with the caption 'Talk to me'. There are 2 films with this title, once from 1984, a drama starring Austin Pendleton, and the other from 1996, starring Yasmine Bleeth and Ricky Goldin. And then I found another 2 films with this name as well as 2 TV series. The bird  is another of the rarities from Balconia-by-the-Rhine, and is commonly known as the larger green-feathered chatterer, a notoriously talkative and gossip loving bird::








Some thinkies and funnies:







Bedx and breakfast:




Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. She is a fun lady Valerie. And she obviously has wonderful talents attracting animals to her, especially this unusual bird. I think she must be very kind. Funny there are so many films by the same name. I haven't heard of any of the Talk to Me films, but then I'm not very good with film names. Hope your nicer weather stays around. We have it here also. It's great. Hugs-Erika

  4. I've never heard of any Talk to Me films, but I don't see many movies. However, your lady with her bird is beautiful and nicely done for Alison's theme at AJJ. Sorry I didn't see your request for me to link you to T Tuesday. Obviously, I was not home.

    Love the funnies, especially the broken crayons. They might be describing me!

    1. I don't watch any movies these days, I used to watch more. Yes, broken crayons do their work as well as the whole ones!

  8. Hi Val, good morning. Lovely art, and I had to laugh at the name of the bird - half of the people I know would fit that gossip loving and spreading definition! Hope you are having a good day, and that the sun will smile on you again. Hugs from us all, Sarah

  11. The Larger Green-feathered Chatterer is a bird to behold, Valerie, and given its reputation for assaulting one's eardrums I am not entirely sorry that I am unable to hear it. I have heard it on very good authority that there was even an incidence of inter-species mating, not well documented in the literature though. It involved a male Chatterer and a female Double-breasted Bed Thrasher. Between thrashing and chattering, and whatever else went on between them, it was clear that it was not going to work, and they went back to their own kind. At least this is what I surmise. Your femme fatale, as do all of the ones you create, looks absolutely stunning. The last picture really made me laugh. I have actually seen similar scenes in Asia. I sure hope one of them doesn't fall off his scooter. Have a great day. i am off to lead a bird walk. It is dull and cool this morning after a sunny day with eighteen degrees yesterday. We will soldier on regardless! Hugs and kisses, David.

  12. I am rolling with laughter about the eight year old's take on grandmothers. I've never seen that before and it's just hysterical. Maybe a little bit true and a lot bit not! It's enough they take us to the play horse. And the man-grandfather! Have to share that with Rick! I love that!
