Sunday morning People...

I went a bit buggy Sunday morning (I'll share those photos in a bit) but I also decided some People photos were in order...

Momma's got the camera...Run, Michael Run!

~

B.S. session between Fred and his Dad!
~

Michael watering for Grandma, he's a good little worker!
~

Michael and Grandma...
~

Dad is so funny...he likes to tell me stories, get my goat, pull my chain, b.s. with me and while he does this I just stand there and snap photos of him and snap and snap and snap...He finally just laughs and walks off...Out of the group I usually end up with a one or two animated photos of him and I love it!

~

Gotcha!!!
~

Fred listening to Michael, little Mr. Chatter box...
~

Things are...

Humming around here...

Not a good photo but I loved the colors of his throat...
~

Berryline and his mate

I also saw a black chinned hummingbird but didn't snap the photo soon enough, drat. But you know me I'll keep trying...

Lunch with a...

Lady Bug!

~

Aphids and lots of them...

~

Mmmm Mmmm good is what I imagine the Lady bug thinks!! I think I'll skip this lunch though, not my cup of tea :o)

Checking on the Cattle...

After Breakfast with Mom and Dad we went to check the cattle. Dad, with help Saturday, had worked them to treat them for flies and whatever else needed doing. One of the calves had tried to blast through some panels and injured itself. Dad wanted to check on it.

~

Here comes one group.

They were still leery and scattered around the pastures.

~

Fred putting out range cubes to entice them...

~

I don't know why I take so many photos of the bull...Guess cause I really like him.

~

He's grown so much and it amazes me at how big he's gotten.

~

Grandpa and Michael checking out the calf.

It didn't look good and wasn't able to eat, not good! And if it can't drink in this heat it probably won't make it. So sad, but accidents do happen. With Dad gone to Houston for Chemo during the weekdays the cattle are not being worked and getting a bit wild.

~

Grandpa and Michael are off to look for a cow and a missing calf. The Mother of the missing calf came up and another cow was missing. We are thinking the missing cow had a calf and was babysitting the other calf. I love that cows take turns babysitting.

We didn't find them, the brush is pretty thick. If I have time I might run over there sometime this week to check and see how the injured calf is and if the missing cow had a calf...I do love the babies.

Gobble Gobble...

I woke up Sunday morning to the sound of a Gobbler gobbling away in front of the house. When we left to go to Mom and Dad's he was still at it and then we spotted him under the Oaks. Fred stopped but I had the wrong lens on the camera and a Diesel Truck even when it's stopped still moves/vibrates, grrrr...And the Tom Turkey was gorgeous. He had a hen under the Oak trees with him and he was showing off...

~

This is the best shot I have and it doesn't even do him justice, sheesh he was gorgeous strutting his stuff. I'm hoping he'll come back around and the Hen too but I have yet to hear or see him, sigh!

Wildflowers along the driveway...

As I was leaving for a quick photo shoot down the driveway I caught Lydia eye-balling the chickens and the chickens running by her, even though there was a fence between them. Yes Ms. Lydia chases the chickens, bad cat!!

~

I used the Canon 28-105 mm lens...
