Throughout the week...

I've been taking random photos with the Olympus "Tough" point and shoot camera. Today I decided to go through the photos and this is what I came up with...

 

 

 Me! Playing around waiting on the boys to finish getting ready!

 

 

 Oh yeah!! All the land that was cleared for the pipeline and they have to park in the driveway!! Not happening...a photo and a phone call to the Big guy one more time!! I bet the Big guy is so tired of hearing from me!!

 

 

 Oh so cool...Ssssnake found dead in the road and yes I stopped so Michael could studying it!! After we did some research we think it was a Schott's Whipsnake.

 

 

 I think I want this statue for our front yard!

 

 

 Cabela's Roadtrip!

 

 

 Oh Santa!! Momma wants one of these, please!!

 

 

 I like this...I think the landscaping, statue and observation chair would look great in our front yard!! We could use the observation chair for oh so much...photos, better cellphone reception, hunting, etc...

 

 

 No MOmmm! No photos!

 

 

 Woman stop taking photos!!

 

 

 Sunrise on the road to Victoria...

 

 

 There's a cow in the road and it sure is a shock at 3:05 in the afternoon...She's a big Black cow and she looked at us and said Moooo!

 

 

 Thunderhead to the North...

 

 

Mexican Fire bush that was NOT suppose to get over 4ft tall, Ha!! It's at 8ft and still growing!

 

 

That was our week in photos taken here and there...

Hope y'all had a good week!

 

 

 

 

 

 



Playing Ball...

 

 

Jenny's favorite activity,

well it could be chasing cats but we are trying to break her of that....

 

 I caught her in mid-air, too cool!!

 

 

 Rounding up the ball...

 

 

Bringing it back for more, good dog Jenny!! Good dog!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Here's my 4th grader...

 

 

Michael brought home his school photos the other day!!

I love this boy he's my ray of sunshine!

Such a beautiful smile and he even has freckles this year, too cute!!

 

 

 

 



Even more Hummingbirds this evening...

 

 

Just totally amazing to watch!!

This is only one of my feeders, all the feeders were overwhelmed and I had to fill them up 3 times today and yesterday!

 

 

 

 



September 25 Hummingbird Migration full on...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This is just one of the feeders in the yard...The amount of hummingbirds is just amazing...Love this time of year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love watching the hummingbirds!

 

 

 

 

 



Nature...Dried up Creek...Pipeline and Sunset all in One evening...

I realized I haven't posted any nature shots recently...So this evening I decided to go for a walk down at the property and creek...

 

 

 Pretty Purple Dragon fly

 

 

 Leaf wing Butterfly sucking up the sap from a tree...

 

 

 I watched him and his buddies fighting in the treetops then he came my way. I was quiet and still so he didn't know I was there until I started clicking the camera and then he was like Uh Oh!! He got really quiet and then slunk off into the trees...Good thing I wasn't an Owl or Hawk!!

 

 

 Green Dragon Fly

 

 

 Little tiny frog at the creek...They are so tiny, about the size of a dime, it's hard to follow them with the lens...

 

 

 Rattle bush seed pods, the gorgeous orange orchid like flowers are gone. Pretty soon the seed pods will dry up and then they'll rattle, rattle, rattle...

 

 

 Scarlet Sage, a hummingbird favorite

 

 

 I think they are done with the pipeline, they came and flattened and smoothed all the dirt mounds today...

 

 

 The tree canopy down at the creek...Actually I think I was taking a shot of another squirrel but darned if I could find him in the photo, lol...it happens! I had switched lens and couldn't zoom in, ekk!

 

 

 This is our creek...This is where the upper part of the creek and the lower part of the creek converge to make one big creek...We normally kayak here and it's usually 3 to 4 ft deep. Not anymore and it's so sad to see it dried up. It's approx. 30 to 40 ft across here when there is water in it...We so need some rain...

 

 

 Where have all the Huge fish gone? Hopefully they've moved to the deeper parts and I'm hoping it rains before those deeper parts dry up and run out of oxygen...Poor fish!

 

 

 Yeah the dirt piles next to the Pool are gone...But my pool is one filthy mess covered in dirt and full of dirt...I am sure it will take me a few weeks to get it all cleaned up once again. Hopefully they are done moving dirt and this will be the last of the mess...I am so ready for it to be over with, what a mess!!

 

 

 A big fluffy blue and pink cloud at sunset!!

 

 

Some where to the West of us someone got some rain...Gorgeous sunset with a Huge Thunderhead topping out...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



They're out there...

Fred and I were at the creek clearing some grapevine and branches...

 

I spotted this little darling curled up at the foot of a small tree...Nice little Water Moccasin. We didn't have any means to dispatch it so I got it to move off into a hole...I'm going to have to watch it when the kids are down there playing as it seems a water moccasin has moved into the area!
