A friend and fellow photographer came to visit from Austin and we met up in Victoria. We went to the Rose Garden for some photos
Mockingbird on Alert.
It was hot and muggy out but an other wise gorgeous day, plenty of sunshine!

Hmmm....Macro fun!
I had fun playing with the scorpion and macro lens. I should have gotten the tripod out too but Michael was having a hissy fit. We found it in Jenny's dog food bowl. Not sure how it got in there but seldom do I find them contained where I can play with the camera and them.
Jenny the Wonder dog!
Yep she's operating the tractor...We needed it moved and she jumped in the drivers seat and barked. Guess she thinks she can handle it!
One very happy dog!
Hang on while I shift it in to Forward and Lower the bucket!!
Now for the rest of the story...
About a month or 2 ago I was driving up to the front after working in the back and it was really super hot out. I decided to let Jenny ride with me to give her a break. I probably made a mistake because now she thinks she needs to be on the tractor with me and when I get off she climbs in the drivers seat, ekk....We all got a huge laugh out of her antics today!!

What happens when I am bored and pick up the camera...
We are actually sitting around today and waiting to go to a wedding. It's a little too wet and overcast to go outside so I picked up the 85mm lens and played around in the house...
Jenny girl is so sad, no one will play with her!
Put down that darn camera and Play with ME!!
I ordered Michael a photo book of his trip to NYC...
Was trying to use a mirror and get a photo of Rosie girl. She was playing along until I tried the flash and then she got mad!! So mad that every time after that if I picked the camera up she'd scream at the camera. It was too funny, I put the camera away because her screams aren't good on the ear drums!
The sun is finally starting to peek out and it's time to get ready!
Hope y'all have a good rest of your weekend.
On another note we received 2.5 inches of rain and honestly we could still use more.

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.
