My afternoon visitors....
« on: January 16, 2010, 03:49:16 PM »
Looked out the kitchen window a bit ago and saw my visitors.....by the time I got my camera, they had moved a little farther away....(please excuse the backflash...I tried to eliminate it as much as possible)


"You lookin' at me?" This is our little spike buck with the funky antlers....he hung around with the little does most of the summer. I think he has a complex about his antler... :uhsure:



I took this through the front door and got a lot of backflash and couldn't get it any better. This one was right in front of my kitchen window when I first saw him....



Not concerned about anything but finding fresh shoots of green....(taken out the bathroom window)



Outta here!



"This is what I think of you taking my picture...."



"uh Mom....why are you standing on the bathroom counter?...you don't let me do that...." (Skyy)



"stare into our eyes.....you will bring us fresh tuna and catnip from WallyWorld....."  (Jazzy - the one that went on a walk-about for a week is on the left, Cocoa Puff is on the right....Bailey wasn't around)

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

It looked like you live in a beautiful area.  I'm jealous.  I am also jealous of your brick floor.

We are surrounded by woods...which is great for privacy .... and spiders.

You would hate the floor BEG, it makes things dusty very quickly. We've sealed it, but we need to seal it again...which is a royal pain in the tush.

Mmmmmmmmm...venison jerky.

And I haven't seen too many turkeys around my house lately, although I've seen the tracks.  Guess the dog has to get me up earlier.

Haven't seen any of the 19 turkeys we had all summer.....I would venture a guess that they all ended up on someone's table.  :uhsure:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Thanks, Dixie....we love the privacy. Right now we can see the neighbors...but we can't when the trees are all leafed out.
