Some Wildlife Pictures I Took

A wildflower close up

Beautiful bird at my feeder

Dragonfly!

Hummingbirds are hard to catch

Another hummingbird

This little gentleman hangs out under the backyard feeder :)

Awwwwww........ How sweet....

I plan to learn what birds are frequenting my feeders.

I am pretty sure this is a female cardinal (State bird of North Carolina, tyvm.)

These birds are fairly big and often eat off the ground instead of perching on the feeders.

My first mission is to identify these. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Pssstt! Whassup on your side? You got better food over there????

New Camera and a Ball Game

Bill bought me a great new Nikon for my birthday. Fabulous!!

New camera has a "pet" setting. This is Ace, photgraphed using the pet setting. The new camera also has a food setting. Can't wait to use that one.




Chelsea is working this summer for the Forest City Owls baseball team. She got us some tickets for Saturday night and we headed out to the ball field. We had a great time. Thanks Chelsea!

Bill and Chelsea.





Recent Pictures I Just Didn't Post

Made an apple pie. Here it is midway.


Ha ha. This poor guy was apparently just too sleepy to even crawl back into the sleeper. (Bill sent me this - he saw this at a truck stop.)

Went to Cheesecake Factory on my birthday. It was a bit of a little surprise party. Sam and Mike and Faye met us there. Food was plentiful and the cheesecake was TO DIE FOR!


Last Monday on my way to school, Bill's truck was pouring fluid out. Crap.

The pouring of fluid resulted in this. Towing the thing. Arg. Missed class and was dropped because of it.

I planted some herbs. Here's some thyme, rosemary, and basil. Nummy.

I chose this outfit for Bill. Yep! Plaid shorts. I think he looks great in them.

New bird feeder. Thanks Bill! My neighborhood birds will be uptown!

And another new bird feeder. Thanks Bill!

New solar powered light-up thermometer. I'm thinking, as cool as it is, that it's possibly wrong. By like 10 degrees......


Yellow rooster windchime Sam gave me for my birthday. Thanks Sam!



Worker bee thingie Sam gave me for my birthday. Thanks Sam!! Isn't he cute?
 
Bill sent me this picture.  Ha ha ha ha...
