Whitetail bucks paying me a morning visit

I went outside this morning and saw 6 bucks standing in front of the house browsing then they slowly moved off...
 
 One of my favorite photos...



 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

Someone dropped an antler...I saw one of the others rubbing against the brush and trees trying to scrap his off too...I imagine they are tired of carrying them things around on their head!
 
 
 
 
 
 


My Valentine is...

 
 
 Very Happy!!
 
 
 
Checking out the Valentines his class mates gave him...

Spring is in the air....

We are still having chilly nights and days here and there but it's warming up quite a bit during the day...
 
 I was attempting to get the butterflies on the Jasmine but they weren't having anything to do with it but as soon as I walk away back they come...
 
 

An immature Crested Cara Cara walking through the brush...
 

 More than likely a type of night shade...I'm feeling lazy today and wasn't ready to drag the wildflower books out!
 
 A closer view...
 
 
 Skipper....
 
 
 Butterfly bush is fix'in to bloom, this will make the butterflies very happy. The butterflies are coming out of their chrysalis but there aren't many flowers blooming yet...
 
 
Poison Crow foot blooms fix'in to bloom...
 

And a Bee Butt...The bees weren't cooperating and wouldn't pose, lol.
 
 
First day we've had sunshine for a few days and it was very welcome!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


The un-natural Carolina Wren...

She's been staying around here and I keep trying for better photos of her...This time I looked up and she was on the living room window sill. With her coloring or actually no coloring she's easy to spot!
 
 
I took the camera outside and captured her on the fence...
 

 
 

Wrens make me laugh...They are always into or up to something!
 

I wonder if she'll like the nest the male makes and stick around?
 
 
 
 
 


Getting ready for...

Valentines Day! Michael is so excited and can hardly wait...
 
 
This year I decided we'd make bookmarks. A bit more practical and hopefully being laminated they'll last the children longer. Michael loves them. We did hearts and designs on one set and the other set I made a school theme with the childrens name! I hope they like them!
 
 
(It amazes me how excited Michael is about Valentines day. Fred and I do NOT celebrate the day. Just makes no sense to us when we show our love for each other every day. But I'm humoring Michael and letting him enjoy the day!)
