My day in photos...

 

I had a package coming through the U.S. mail and wasn't sure if I had to sign for it. So I went and waited out by the mailbox (they won't drive to the house as it's too far from the road). While I was waiting I walked around and took photos of what I saw...

 

 

Gorgeous green eyes Mr. Robber fly

 

 

Red Wasp can really hurt if they get a hold of you. These were busy with their nest and not too bothered by me spying on them.

 

 

Amymone butterfly...so pretty and yet so hard to capture it with the camera.

 

 

 

Wood Sorrel

 

 

Day Flower

 

 

I'm still trying to figure this one out. Our pasture is loaded with them.

 

 

Oh how I hate these...Sticker burrs, grass burrs, sand burrs, whatever you call them they hurt and they love to grow in a drought too!

 

 

Not sure what these were but oh so tiny and oh so pretty.

 

 

Broom weed, not so good for the livestock animals eyes...a real irritant!

 

 

 Crow Poison or also known as False Garlic

 

 

Partridge Pea

 

 

Wild Morning Glories

 

 

Common Sunflowers

I pulled the push mower out and this little guy popped out!!

I was chuckling!

But then he wouldn't leave and kept going back in the engine compartment, sigh!

 

He did stop and pose here and there as I attempted to get him off the mower...

 

 

Love the coloring and watching it change too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angel of Goliad Hike and Bike Trail

 

I had to be in Goliad this evening and had some time to burn up so I decided to check out the Hike and Bike trail. I've walked it before but it's been a few years.

 

 

It was Hot, it was Muggy and I decided to take the camera. I really didn't see too much but it was a nice walk.

 

Lots of winding boardwalks. They follow the San Antonio river but the brush has grown up so much you can't see it very well.

 

It's hard to see the old railroad bridge too. Fred use to play here as a kid. Now there is no way to get on it or near it.

 

 

 

City squirrels are a lot different from their country cousins, they are not very shy. Actually rather curious and boisterous.

 

 

 

He found an acorn, yummy.

 

Spotted this youngster lying outside a nest enjoying the breeze in the top of the tree.

 

The only clear shot I had of the old bridge.

 

 

 

Trumpet flower blooms in the Oak trees.

 

I didn't have time to walk the whole trail but maybe next time I'll bring Jenny with me and we'll check out the whole trail. Maybe it will be a bit cooler too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still playing with the camera...

 

I guess some people would call me lazy but the hummingbirds only migrate for a short time and I decided to spend the day playing with them...

Playing this morning...

 

I should be down cleaning the pool but we had one storm come through and it doesn't look like it can decide what it's going to do next. In the meantime I'm playing with the camera.

 

She's losing her spots

 

Playing around with my photo editing program

 

 

 

Now off to check the radar to see what the weather holds for us!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hummingbird Migration....

 

 

It has begun...one of many videos I am sure!

 

 

 

Everyone is up and at it this morning. I've been outside watching the deer, chickens, horse, hummingbirds, cats, and dogs...It's Monday but the animals don't know, it's just another day for them.

 

 

Happy Monday Everyone!

 

 

 

 

 



A Little of This and That...

 

 

When it rains the Fungi appear...

 

 

Just hanging around...

 

 

I spotted her near the creek this evening...

 

 

And she spotted me...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They keep rolling in...

 

 

One storm after another...lots of lightning and a little rain.

 

 

This was last night (Monday) down at the pool/property. I haven't been able to mow because it's too wet. And it seems like every time I go to weed the garden or work out in the pool another storm comes rolling in...

 

This one came in just a little bit ago as I was working at the property...

 

 

I made it to the house and inside the front door just as the rain cut lose!

 

The twin fawns were in the driveway as I came racing up and of course came to a halt...They are so cute, love watching them!!
