Hi Tribe, I’ve been absent enjoying retirement for the past 6 months and have thought of you’ll often. Hope all is well in your life! The girls at the Gazette send their love and have added a rooster to

The past 2 weeks have been the most relaxing since we went on a vacation to Taos New Mexico ten years ago. Retirement has been fabulous thus far. We haven’t done anything outrageous, or gone on any elaborate

I just missed seeing this new baby being born. Mom went to the furthest corner of the field, where she had lots of privacy. Nothing escapes the discerning eye of a chicken! We are naturally curious creatures

I was fortunate yesterday to capture photos of this Red-Spotted Purple butterfly in a sandy area near the porch. I have tried on a number of occasions to photograph this beauty, but it has eluded me for

Lola the Boxer dog was out wandering the property with me when the neighbor’s Pekin Ducks spotted us near the pond and raced across to see us. It must have been a mistake on their part thinking she might

I’ve decided to shorten Jody’s name to JR, for oblivious reasons. Jody Rooster. He was named Jody because when he was a chick we couldn’t tell if it was a boy or a girl. Harmony has been restored to the

While waxing poetic about my travels in the past and contemplating where we intend to go in the future, I was reminded of a past visit to “Tallulah Falls” in Georgia. It’s a series of six waterfalls cascading

Some of you may have noticed the gazette has been on hiatus since late May, the past couple of months have been difficult here at Fuss & Feathers. I also decided to make it monthly instead of weekly.

Layers of colors in nature are a phenomen that occurs frequently. They are my favorite colors. Here I have edited the photo just to make the layers more obvious.

This morning the light threw such inviting shadows on the grass. It was lovely to look at, so I grabbed my clippers heading out the door. It was 9:30 a.m. Within an hour I was drenched in sweat, red faced,

Just like in the movie, this peacock hen delivers a firm message that she really isn’t crazy about her romantic fowl friend. He is a beautiful specimen of a bird, but looks aren’t everything.

Captured this photograph a couple of years ago when we were visiting my realatives in Pennsylvania. Drove the country side remarking about how little had changed since I was a child. Since then prices

This old truck is posted for @janton. He is a truck enthusiast like myself. Sometimes they are right under your nose. I found this one parked behind an old barn while snooping around.

Rain has flooded the fields where these gals normally graze in the cool of the afternoon. The lead cow took charge and as you can see in the photographs the rest followed her in chest high water to dryer

The iris has forever been one of my favorite flowers. It’s so hard to resist the purple beauties. Hope you like the picture through my lense. photo is property of @mother2chicks

Suddenly it hit me, today is caturday... Hurriedly, I went outside to the porch, lifted the blanket on the cat condo and there she was...Boadie waking up from her nap. Did a little digital art and ta-da,

Can you find the butterfly?

This bed and breakfast located in Micanopy Florida is on the Main Street running through town. On game days they fill up pretty fast, as there are plenty of Florida Gator fans that attend the football
