My day in photos...

~
 
 
 
 I feed the deer at 6:46. These Feral hogs came in at 7:38 and thank goodness there was no feed left. I hand feed every day morning and night so the deer eat and NOT the Feral hogs. This photo is from the game camera.
 
 

Then this afternoon I ran down to the pool at 2pm. The deer ran right out and started dancing around the feed pan.
 

This doe was kicking the feed pan. I couldn't figure out why they were wanting fed in the middle of the afternoon. I don't feed then and they know it. Then it dawned on me. Sunday afternoon at 2pm I threw them a watermelon from the garden. They didn't want feed, they wanted a watermelon! This doe is really upset and having a little hissy fit. Sorry Momma no watermelons today! She is spoiled rotten and truly addicted to watermelons!
 

She wouldn't even look at me and pose for a photo, and then she stuck her tongue out at me!! I have one watermelon left growing in the garden but it's not ready yet!
 
 

I found a patch of little yellow butterflies where I spilled some water. I got the Macro lens on the camera and took a few photos.


 
 

This little blue was not cooperating. He kept showing me his rearend!
 

 
 

 
 

I found a grasshopper (one of thousands down there) on the Okra.

 This afternoon Michael worked on a school project and finished it.
 

They are studying the different States in the United States.
 

Michael picked New York
 
 

 Then he had to build a float
 
 

With all the different things about the State of New York.
 

He was pretty proud of it and I think he did a terrific job!
 
 

This evening at the pool Mr. Stinky showed up!!
 
 
Photo wise it was a pretty busy day!
Hope y'all had a great Monday!

Spotted him in the garden...eat those bugs little guy!

These and others are reseeded from the Zinnias we planted this spring!
 
 

 
 
 

 
 

I don't recall the name of these but I like them. They made it through our hot hot summer and I will definitely be planting more next spring! I'm wondering if they'll make it through our winter?
