Saturday Critters

This silly dilly decided to inspect the interior of a live trap even though it didn't contain any food. He was stuck, so took advantage of his problem and snapped a few pics before he was released. Hopefully Mr. Armadillo learned an important lesson.

A Green June Beetle was seen walking across the porch. Gus followed him, but wouldn't get too close. I don't blame him. this guy is a bit scary.

Mr. Big Bad Bull was staring at granddaughter as she was taking pics of a scissor-tail flycatcher. She then turned the camera on him. He didn't look very happy. Photo credit to Granddaughter who loves taking pictures like her Grandma.

I took Granddaughter for a back road ramble with her camera while she was here visiting. We stopped when we saw this Great Egret on the far side of a pond. I tried to get a halfway decent shot, but he was so far away it didn't turn out very well. After I uploaded the pics onto my computer, I discovered a surprise. Feral hogs! I didn't even notice them through the viewfinder. I guess I thought they were rocks or something. Pleasant discovery.

    That bull just projects power and strength.

    Armadillos look like such characters.

    Great to see an Armadillo, glad he was a bit daft in walking into the trap :-)
    Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Diane
