A Turkey in the drive...

I was sitting here at my desk today and happened to look out the window and saw a Turkey in the driveway....He was too far away for a decent photo so I just sat here and watched him. He was wandering all over the place and finally starting moving closer to the house. I got the camera ready but knew if I went outside and tried to get closer to him he'd run, they're shy birds! It was time to go get Michael so I took the camera on the off chance I'd get a photo of him from the truck...NOT!! I never saw him while I drove down the driveway...lol

But I did see this cactus in bloom growing out from the bottom of an Oak tree and thought it was cool...the butterflies liked it too! But I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't have time to wander over and try for some butterfly photos, sigh!!

Then I saw the African (Brahma) cow, lol...Mooo!

Then Wowsers...we had a storm come in later in the evening!! Wind, Rain, Lightning...Severe Thunderstorm warnings...Tornado spotted in Yorktown, about 15 miles as the crow flies...it was nasty but we got some much needed rain...I don't have a clue as to how much though as the rain gauge got blown over, grr...My guess is at least 2 inches, maybe more...Yea!


The sun peeked out for a bit after the storm and I hurried outside as my time was limited...and so was the light...I managed the above photo of a rose covered in rain...then the wind picked up again!!! I was so looking forward to playing with raindrops but it wasn't meant to be...I really would like to get some Macro shots but this darn wind is killing me!!
So that was my day in photos...
