Cee continues her Slogans series this week by borrowing a slogan from Allstate – “You’re in Good Hands”

I have to admit, it was hard finding pictures with hands in my library. I cheated a little by including a few paws as well as hands.

    1. Thanks Ruth. I was scrambling to find photos. My wife loves those. She says they do all the things I used to ask her to do.

  3. Hi Dan, great pictures. Hands are not usually body parts we focus on with our photography so I think you did well finding all of these.

  4. I think of hands a lot; your photos show something of what great tools they are, even when they are paws. I do love the Dad-Daughter thing!

    1. I have almost as many pictures of Faith’s hands as I do the squirrels and the cats. My photos of hands are more – the hands just happened to be there. I guess I take advantage of them.

    1. Thanks Gwen. She loved playing with that ball, and she would lean back and throw it. Every now and then, she still gives it a smack, but she’s not up for much play at 18.

  16. Great shot of the squirrel’s “hands”! Allstate has dropped many of my neighbors so they should drop that misleading slogan – we’ve got hands only in certain states!

    Liked by 1 person

    1. They (and others) have done that in many states for many reasons. I’m not sure the “good hands” are firmly held together anymore.

  17. You did a handy dandy job finding these photos for today’s prompt. Do I even have to tell you that the paws win the blue ribbon! The photo of Maddie, and you with the blue bike gloves on is perfect. Well, your gloved hand not so much. Maddie A+! 🤗

    Love Dr. Seuss and MiMi playing with her ball. Good for her that she still pays attention to it now and then. Our cat Queenie made it to 21.

    I do like the Helping Hands. No home should be without a pair. Why is ours I wonder? 😵‍💫

    1. Thanks Ginger. I knew the paws would win over the hands – they’re just too cute. MiMi has already lived beyond what the vet estimated, given her health issues. We don’t know, but we’re here to serve as long as she needs us.

      The Helping Hands really are just that. They fill in for as long as necessary.

      This was definitely a challenge, but it was fun finding these,

    1. Thanks Linda. They are such patient eaters. They go slow, and it’s fun to watch.

      1. Yes and I like how on a quiet morning, you hear them munching and the shells falling to the ground.

        Liked by 1 person

        1. We have one who breaks open the shell, takes the peanut out to eat it. Then she picks up the shell and pulls the other peanut out. She never holds the shell as she eats – she’s the only one here that does that, although one black squirrel in the park eats that way.

          1. She’s a dainty eater isn’t she Dan? I have to laugh if I give a squirrel a few peanuts and it picks them up or sniffs them and the Jays do that too, like trying to decide which is worthy enough to eat.

            Liked by 1 person

            1. The Blue Jays are very picky. We have one poor squirrel that often loses all the peanuts to the jays because he can’t decide. We wait and toss one to him after everyone else is eating.

              Liked by 1 person

            2. That is nice of you looking out for him like that Dan. The Blue Jays at the Park where I walk will pick up a peanut as if to weigh it … “would that be one nut or two inside, maybe a triple nut?” They only dither over which peanut to grab if no other critters are around.

            3. They do seem to weigh them :-) The regulars have their habits, and we’ve learned to accommodate them. Smokey is always late to arrive. I think he comes from farther away, but everyone will be off eating, and we’ll see him scampering across the yard. Of course we wait for him.

            4. Years ago we had three people regularly feeding the squirrels in our neighborhood. One fox squirrel would be up and at it before the others, so he would go from one house to the other (and one house was across the street) to ensure he didn’t miss any handouts. I fed him early as I left for work – the other two neighbors were retired. He was funny to watch – his name was “Sammy” and he was very savvy. :)

    1. It wasn’t recent. I search my archives for these photos. I should put a date on these when I reuse them. Sorry to raise the concern.
