Thanks, T4! No, the wife just buys them . Actually, I picked 'em out but I'll deny it if anyone accuses me of it.

Cool 'lil guard dog there Art.

We went on a short trip and took a few pics.

1. Fungus in a loud orange, wonder if the color keeps rodents from eating it?
2.-3. A mushroom type fungus, pic 2, we saw in a squirels mouth later he was running off with it. I guess when the nuts are spent you will eat anything if you are a squirel.
4. Tree fungus, on a living tree, the rest were on down dead trees.
5. Another variety of fungus/shroom style, this one looked like a lacy umbrella.
6. A sleeping dragon.
7. Turkeys that we saw cross the road after we got the "turkey call" "wet box" out. We got it after we saw so many last year, and calling them is fun I think. I got them to answer me a few times. But they were not interested in hanging around. We were at the entrance of the park when we started calling them and the traffic there was not conducive to talking Turkey.

Hey, Art, you guys probably have the little burrowing owls there too, don't you? They're so cute and sweet looking--bloody little buggers.

When our kids were young, 3 baby squirrels fell out of a tree and of course we adopted them for a bit. Well, until a burrowing owl got in the cage with them and ate their eyes and brains.

Wanna see some grammar-school aged kids freak? Show 'em Itty, Bitty and Witty all disassembled and gooey. Yuck.

Yes, we do, PH . They're the cutest little things! Wish I had some pictures of them. I'll work on it

I've got 3 that come back year after year--probably looking for more squirrel brains. Once they get to know you, they have hardly any fear at all. Ours come sit on the overhead fans when we're on the porch, if the fans aren't on of course. Spooky little guys--they aren't there, then they are there, then they're gone again--no sound. I love 'em despite their wicked ways.

Time - I once mistook two buzzards for black geese. :holysheep:
Is there even such a thing as black geese?

A family member took these two shots in my old hometown during the snow last month. Very picturesque and very very unusual for TX.

OHC, is that Sam Houston's home? The second pic? Beautiful pics! Both you and PlanB.

Canadian Geese are brown and black, with some white.....I dont know if there are any totally black geese. I watch raptors up here and one way to tell the differnce between Vulture and ANY other large bird from a good distance is......Look for the shine under the wing as the bird circles, if the feathers under the wing shine to a grey, it is a Vulture. Bald Eagles and Goldens are very simular in size to the Vulture and the under side of the Eagle wings never shines.

Well thanks for the black geese info - I did feel like a city slicker when that ol cowgirl rolled her eyes and corrected me.

No - Sam Houston settled in a lil town called Huntsville that's north of Houston.... Just so happens I once lived there so I can say that with confidence. His last home was built to resemble a steamboat but none were as grand as the building in the pic. That's a court house in a small TX town in the second pic .... the first shot is of a (now closed) B&B in the same town.

 

[Time4Plan-B]

well ohc me and my wife wanna live in the first pic of that house

thats just ideal for me and mine

[Hick]

I enjoyed our last photography thread. How 'bout we start a fresh one?..

I had a grandson out scouting for spring turkey this morning.

 

[frankcos]

Awesome landscape. I love spring time wildlife. Nice pics Buddy.:aok:

 

[Roddy]

Nice pics, Hick I love mountainous scenes!

These are pics from a few years back when I last went to Vegas. Turtlehead peak is the first I've climbed also the one I've climbed most...it's pretty simple!

Below and to the left of the guy in this pic is a 100' drop, don't make a mistake, my friend!

Here's Vegas from Turtelhead. Turtlehead is in the Red Rock Canyon, we've also climbed the tallest two peaks, Wilson and Bridge...awesome times and something to do other than sit in a casino all day! These peaks are class 3 (scramble) with a near class 4 on Wilson.
