A Thursday evening walk

Fred was going to work out on the exercise bike tonight when he said he'd rather go for a walk and I said lets go...So off we went Michael on his tractor, Fred with his snake boots, Dallas cowboy shorts and sleeveless shirt...I had to promise no photos of Fred so no laughs tonight, sorry folks! It's not very often we all go for a walk and I didn't want to ruin it! Below are some of the photos I took.

I was squating down by the dry creek seeing what I could take a photo of when I felt something on my arm...A Grasshopper!! He was quiet comfortable and I decided to attempt a photo of him...not to thrilled about my hairy freckled arm but the grasshopper came out good!

Prickly Pair Cactus with Tunas on it. These are the fruit of the cactus and the indians ate them and they make jellys out of it. I've tried them and they aren't to good raw.


A Rattlebush bloom. I saw these plants a few weeks ago and wondered what they were. This evening they had blooms and seed pods on them...I thought they were beautiful.

This is a reflection of an Oak tree in the dry creek bed that is full of water after last nights rain.
