So – what has been going on ‘round here…..

First of all,

I am totally in love with my new camera…

I would married it if I could.

It has led to a lot of

practice

Practice

 

Way too much light…..but….

This is what greets me every day when I come home…..

and more practice…..

I stopped the water, I stopped the water!!!

I can almost smell these…..

And there is a little I Spy going on here…can you see it?

One of the frogs from the pond. I believe this is Fred the Bull frog…

How such a deep sound comes from that little thing I will never know…

Oh look it is actually a real picture of me!! What do you now!?

Then, there has been some avian action ‘round here.

I am turning into the crazy bird lady.

I keep trying to get pictures of them at the feeder.

Got a book at the library to identify them,

and get excited when I find one I didn’t know like a

fox sparrow, that refused to be photographed, but

is a really cool bronze color.

anyway….

we’ll just change the subject on  how this could really be

showing my age, and domesticity that I refuse to acknowledge….

we’ll just move on….

Appreciate the effort of this awesome falcon in helping us with our pesky blackbird population….

And this guy is back looking for a meal….

I caught him today just landing…

talk about a freaky sight.

They are huge up close, and

teradactyl-esque, and have the wing span of a 747 when you scare them and they take off over your head!

Oopss..spotted me…..

Then I sent my great defender out after it….

she actually did a pretty good job, and I was

too busy ducking to click a picture!!

Then he had the audacity to saunter back across the yard,

yes, walk, a few minutes later…

two seconds after I snapped this,

Zoey was sent out…..

he did not return!

Notice when they are ugly and I don’t like them they are male?

Teehee….cute ones creatures are girls.

I think there may be a bias there??

Profiling of the animal world??

Sorry dude, as awesome as I think you are,

I can not let you eat my fishies!

Yes,

Fishies too.

I think I am getting a bit looney.

Then, there is this creature that was more than happy Thursday night to be allowed to ride the tractor for the first time….

and yes, the hair the hair the hair…..

I can remember K’s being just as unruly at that age…..

Only she is a girl. she can put a ponytail in…..

This boy is just all hair……

And of course, as always…..

There is always a bit of this going on around here!
