We put netting over our fish pond to keep the herons from stealing our goldfish and shebunkins. I think you're right that the wire cage is there to hold the rocks in place (although it looks like it's sagged a bit over time). The old house is curious ... I wonder if the trees/vines were removed, the house would fall down! Enjoy the rest of the week!

But can be quite messy to open up for getting its seeds out. We have two young trees, not yet with fruits...<br />Lovely egret photos too and it is hard to identify great egrets and great white herons... I might have labeled mine wrongly too?!<br />But as long as we enjoy taking photos of them it is fine.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-18921931491246936392014-07-30T08:09:53.031+09:002014-07-30T08:09:53.031+09:00Hi Miyako san.

In the US, I tasted but it was pomegranate-flavored juice and not actual fruit. I didn't like juice so much, but I should give a try to actual fruit!<br />The egret is very cute. I checked the link. I didn't know there are many different kinds of egrets! <br />Oh the old house reminds me of Hobbit house! <br /><br />Have a wonderful week, Miyako san!Tamagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146082320211034945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-68957351115712708902014-07-30T08:04:35.006+09:002014-07-30T08:04:35.006+09:00I have never eaten a pomegrante.

Where was my brain!!:)) I am so sorry! Ofcourse your photos showed pomigranites,which I find a little insipid, and difficult to eat. Your Egret captures are fine, and the dilapidated house will remain a mystery I guess, but sad to see an abode so neglected and unloved.

The Snowy Egret has a black beak and yellow feet, but it is a smaller bird. I so enjoy seeing where you live.
