SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - CLAMS AND CRABS?

 Blodwyn the Bluebird is all of a dither.

Meet Cam the Clam. He swam up the wrong estuary and is far from home. Blodwyn was a little surprised, but she found he was a likeable soul and not all snapping clamshell, an absolute pearl of a clam. 
Here's Clarence the Crab who followed his friend the clam up the estuary. Clarence likes to hug everyone as it is in his nature and Mommy and Daddy Crab showed him love with lots of hugs. Thankfully someone saw his problem and saved the day.
Yay, hugs for everyone said Clarence the Crab!

The next day they were taken to the aquarium, put in a big tank full of sea water and taken home. They had quite a story to tell their family and friends.

And this ends another whimsical tale, because that's how it goes on a

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder...

where one never knows which deep sea trench Camera Lady's imagination is going to fall into, poor dear. 


Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks for swimming by.

"Think yourself lucky. Mine came with pinchers and they are huge! He keeps wanting to give me a hug. That makes me nervous."

"Oh boy!" 

"I'm safe now. Camera Lady gave me her oven gloves."

"She means well!"
