6. I am SO jealous!

I live in an area of the country where there isn't enough water to have a lawn that looks like that.
Just seeing the color green makes me happy.

Then, add in the birds, who are so lucky to have those feeders waiting for them. Great photograph!

Can't have bird feeders where I live. Whatever the birds knock to the ground, the rabbits and squirrels show up to eat it. And then the rattlesnakes show up to eat the rabbits. Food chain in action. But I don't want the rattlesnakes, so I have to skip the bird feeders.
