The masked bandit is back! Great Photo! What kind of tree is that? Is that actually red, or is that the lighting in the photo?

My cousin Deb had a bunch of windchimes on her back porch... She had a sleepless night and they were driving her nuts... She said she took a pair of sissors out there with her and snipped them all off....with a "there, that takes care of that!!!" and went back to bed....lol She could have just taken them down...I would have rescued them..I have a crooked gnarly tree they would have been happy in. My chimes are glass, hand made by a special cyber friend who sometimes posts here...She has a georgous blue bottle tree.....I keep them on the porch so they don't get broken. Even at that,about a month ago, during a wind storm, one piece got broken . I'd love to have a bunch hanging in my tree that those in the picture. patti

Cathy, My yard is barren pretty much. LoL I have a couple lantana planted. I had to do a total burn down of the lawn. It was over ran by broadleaf, invasive thistles, bindweed and gods above knows what else. We were gone for almost a year. When we moved in here it was pretty bad to begin with. (A foreclosure property.) Anyway...Starting over completely! I just wanted desperately to try and snap a picture or three...Ah well! Next year! :) I'll have things coming up! I have dill, fennel, lantana, tropical milkweed just to name a couple of things. I'm going to try my hardest to draw them to me instead of me following them! I surely felt silly wandering around 1/4th of an acre trying to catch an image of them. I'm sure you all can picture that! *g* yeah, yeah... laugh along with me, because I am giggling about it. I know how silly it had to have looked! Anyway, for now...I'll just keep oogling everyone elses photos! ~Tina Marie

Thanks for posting this. My cousin was diagnosed with this at the age of 49. She had successful surgery, which prevented any further nerve damage. But the surgery and the untreated CM have left her in a considerable amount of constant pain in her neck, and limited range of movement in one arm. Apparently, once she learned what the symptoms are, she'd been having very specific symptoms for over 10 years, and she'd been having "migraines" most of her life. And her father is a neurologist.

Thanks, Clairdo, for the response.

Those eyes remind me of the pig's eyes in the Amityville Horror Movie...staring in the second story window.

Great photo.

Yes I saw prints in the snow the day before, so I looked in the tree last night and there he was. A little later his brother showed up but i couln't get a picture of them together. boy are they bold, they just stare at you and don't move. Thought he might jump on me but he never moved.

Good shot!
It sure looks spooky!.... so fitting with Halloween coming up!
It's a Racoon right? Those large eyes lighting up? Is it because the flash?
How often do you see your friend in a year?

I think the eyes are yellow because of the flash. These guys only come here in the fall when there are berries on my tree.
