**Repetition** is so easy - I'll never run out of examples - new reminder

It's Sunday, and time for another reminder and another example for our February theme and a reminder to shoot or find your own photo.
Come Wednesday I will open the submission thread, and not til then will I stop pestering you with new posts. Also: please note that from now on there is no more obligation for the winner. No hosting - nothing - just a little courage to take part in the contest and enter a photo.

And also some birds like the floor of the house to be closer to the hole and not so far down. If you want to attract a particular type of bird, find out what kind of house they like. I only found this out recently.

It says 'S.S. Minnow' on the first bird house, and also the board they're sitting on. Gee, I haven't thought of that show for a long time and used to watch it every week - thanks for jogging my memory!

Trivia:
~ The Skipper was Alan Hale Jr. - his dad was in The Adventures of Robin Hood as well as many other well-loved movie classics. If you put photos of father and son side-by-side when they were the same age, they could have been twins.

~ Bob Denver who played Gilligan was Maynard G. Krebs in the tv series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

~ Jim Backus the millionaire was the voice of cartoon character Mr. Magoo.

Again, thanks for the memory, Mira!!
(The theme song will no doubt be my earworm for a few days. )
