The picture on the neighborhood watch sign looks a bit like a left-facing bird with a cross over it.

TexasCobra Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 2 hours ago, TexasCobra said: The ducktailed 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe parks at the duck trail in Boerne Texas. To the left as we look west on Hwy 46 you will see a smidgen of the River Road Park between traffic and parked cars. To the right you will see the sidewalk that leads to outdoor customer seating at the Little Gretel Restaurant (Czech and German cuisine) which features roast duck on the menu. The menu states that duck, beef, sausage, and chicken are sourced from local farms. No roadkill is served. I prefer the ribeye steak and cheese sandwich au jus. It is about ten times better than any Philly cheese steak I have had! The schnitzel and red cabbage is also phenomenal but I do a better sauerbraten. My mother's maiden name was Altgelt which translates from the German as "old money". I guess so. From the 14th century the Altgelts owned the coaching inn, the brewery, and the bakery in a small town in the Rhineland. They also produced generations of Reform and Evangelical bishops and pastors. One of them had eighteen children by two wives. Like Johann Sebastian Bach his organ had no stops!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickadeeXT Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I love this picture so much. The duck was hissing at the snowy egret for getting too close to his ducky lady friend. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickadeeXT Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The photo itself isn't funny, but the story behind it is. And I swear this is 100% true. I was taking photos of this Snowy Egret and two teenage to maybe 20-year-old girls walked by and the one exclaimed "It's a FLAMINGO" and her friend said "Nah, that can't be a flamingo. Can it?" And I'm just over here like "Lord give me the strength not to start my 'bird educator' mode." I realize we all have to start somewhere, but a Flamingo? Oh boy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
