This week during a
Second Look, I focused on the animals around us. It was a challenge to capture what I saw because I have a simple point and shoot digital camera with only a 4X zoom. Not the best thing for taking pictures of creatures that scattered every time I got within shooting range. Several pictures were actually taken out our kitchen window. Anyway, here are a few things I saw this week around the yard.
 |
| This one of neighbor's cattle resting by our back fence. |
 |
| We call this Tree of Heaven tree our woodpecker tree. Most years, woodpeckers "peck" out a nest here because the wood is very soft. |
 |
| Adult male purple finch |
 |
| Annie watching a black snake that is crawling in the basement window well. |
 |
| Cardinal at the bird feeder. |
 |
| Something had a nice snack from this goose egg. |
 |
| What used to be our favorite maple tree until a sapsucker spent several years damaging it. It probably should be taken down sometime soon. |
 |
| Bumble bee on blanket flower |
 |
| Doe and fawn. There is another pair just behind them. |
Ha! You got me. I'm a ginger junkie. I just can't get enough of the stuff. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've got some incredible things around your house (ie - multiple doe and fawn sets) and some kinda scary things (ie - snakes in your window well - shudder).
