Wordless Wednesday - A Perfect Fit

By

 



I had a bird feeder made from a coconut shell, filled it with seed, and hung it up, hoping to attract some birds. However, instead of birds, a small red squirrel claimed the feeder as his own. The size was perfect for him, and in exchange, he allowed me to take some great photos of him enjoying his newfound spot.

    Hahaha, Martha had a similar situation she blogged about just the other day. I suggested she watched a Mark Rober video, he's the king of squirrel traps, I mean, squirrel entertainment park:

    PRICELESS! Since moving, I want to hang my birdfeeder, but there are many more squirrels than we dealt with before, so I'm still debating whether I want to feed the squirrels or not! LOL

      that's what it comes down to doesn't it? It's not a bird feeder, it's a squirrel feeder.

    An unexpected dinner party guest. That is so adorable! I sure hope the squirrel comes back for many visits and you can continue to enjoy their company.

    That's so funny! Well, it was nice that your bird feeder worked, even though it wasn't in the way you planned. :)

A Day in Cannes

Before our stop in Cannes, all I knew about the city was that it hosts a fabulous film festival every summer and serves as a playground for the rich and famous. To be honest, after spending a day there, I still don’t know much more than that.   I think that one needs more than a day in Cannes to really discover the city and surrounding area.

 Palma de Mallorca is known for it's beautiful beaches, stunning coastline, and historical landmarks. As we were only there for the day, we focused our attention on the Old Town.

Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca We started our day at the Cathedral of Palma,   also known as the Cathedral de Santa Maria de Palma or La Seu. This massive gothic cathedral dominates the skyline and is one of Spain's largest cathedrals.

 We had a stop in Alicante, Spain.  It was our first time there, but we decided not to explore the city.  Instead, we ventured out on an excursion to the beautiful village of Guadalest. Guadalest is known for its stunning views and historic significance.  Originally founded by the Moors as a fortified settlement, its strategic location on a mountain made it an ideal defensive stronghold. It was part of the Islamic Kingdom of Valencia as far back at 750AD.  After the Christian conquest in the 13th century, the village became part of the Kingdom of Valencia. The village has maintained it's medieval charm, with it's narrow alleys, old stone buildings, cobbled streets, and the iconic castle. Guadalest Castle Guadalest Castle is an 11th century fortress and castle that was built by the Moors.  After being damaged by an earthquake, the war of the Spanish Succession, and a mine explosion, all that remains is a restored tower.   Despite not being well-pre...
