Our Sunday at the 8N ranch...

After breakfast and helping Michael with some target shooting I went for a walk down to the San Antonio river...

Saw a Bluebird...
but couldn't get any closer for a better shot. He sure was blue and really stood out in the trees.

Golden-fronted Woodpecker

Tufted titmouse, drinking water from a hole in a tree. There were also chickadees drinking water from the same hole but once again I didn't manage to get a decent photo of them.


I laid down for a bit on the trail and just looked up into the trees...
(fire ants aren't out in full force yet, yeah)
Spotted this squirrel. He sure was being awful quiet up there.

China berry's are awful good!

Love this river and all the history that surrounds it.

Trees, Trees, and more Trees...Beautiful!

Fred brought his 22 rifle to target shoot with, Dad was trying it out!

Daddy helping Michael...

Aunt Diana wanted to try...

Michael called me to come have a look...seems there were mice in the back of the 4x4 mule and when anyone walked over there they would jump out! Michael got the biggest kick out of it. I had a hard time getting a photo, they're fast! Got this one in mid-air!

That was our day at Mom and Dad's ranch. It was absolutely gorgeous and so enjoyed spending time with family and being outside!
