Welcome to Saturday Sparks 421!
Starting off today's party with never ending guard duty.
It is striking how animals instinctively protect each other.
Much time is spent as sentries, a necessity for survival.
Ever mindful of their surroundings.
Ever mindful of the precious cargo beside them.
There is so much to be gained from the study of nature.
First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 420.
DIY a Table Centerpiece at a Low Price at Dreaming in Color
DIY Hanging Propagation Station at Handmade Weekly
Maple Blueberry Zucchini Loaf at Mom, The Lunch Lady
Gluten-Free Crispy Granola at My Hubbard Home

Love all the nature you see where you are! Thanks for hosting, and I brought by some Avocado Mac and Cheese - so creamy and flavorful. Hope you enjoy. :)

The so-called animals are smarter than us. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! We would do well to stop and take heed of the examples they set. All my best, Suzanne.
DeleteAnother week - another round of recipes from my kitchen! I hope you all love them and have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up your delicious recipes. Take care, Suzanne.
DeleteThanks so much for featuring my propagation station project.
ReplyDeleteLoved your 'propagation station' idea, Hannah. Very smart and beautiful. Warmest wishes, Suzanne.
DeleteVisiting the party later than usual this week. Your photo reminded me of the other day when entering a busy medical building and noticed a goose sitting on her nest in a flower pot within inches of the door. She was perfectly calm with the constant stream of people coming and going beside her.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting, Marie. Some seem to be more tame around people than others. I assume some of them have been fed at some point and are lacking their normally cautious demeanor. It seems that one sitting on a nest would be especially anxious. Have a wonderful week my friend, Suzanne.
