Biking

OK, so obviously I did not take this one...but it was taken with my camera! I like to go out to the field and ride my bike around and have Tazer trot alongside with me. We both get exercise and our tongues are hanging out afterwards!

The Fake Coyote

This caught my eye while out bike riding..... I was all excited to see some wildlife. I crept up, and then realized it was a fake. DRAT!

Herding

Watched some awesome dogs herd today. Man, they can just look at those cattle and tell them where to go. Really interesting to watch.

The Little Things

I've found that walking around and taking pictures, often times, Nature is not going to jump out at you and say.... HERE I AM!!! TAKE MY PICTURE!!!  You have to explore, look for the little things, and really enjoy the adventure of looking for hidden treasures. It makes one appreciate all that life has to offer, because there is so much out there that most people just pass on by, oblivious. I was so lucky to see this White-Lined Sphinx Moth out hiking in the blazing heat yesterday - it was so cool. I watched it feed on thistle for about 10 minutes. A real treat for this Nature girl!

Hummingbird!

A hummingbird FINALLY came to my feeder! It was for a few seconds, but I was very excited. Hopefully I will see more.
