February 2, 2009, Geese on Pond

These four Canada geese showed up today at our farm pond. I used a 105-350 lens to get the photos from a distance. Hope they stay around for awhile.

Backyard Visitor

I just happened to look out the kitchen window and to my surprize I saw this little fellow that did not look quite right and I realized he had a white fuzzy tail. I have heard of albino animals, but not half albinos. There is a place in our N.C. mountains where solid white squirrels are numerous. This little fellow looked to be about half the size of the other squirrels that are in our yard. Possibly because we feed them and there are real fat for this time of the year. Will keep a eye open and if it returns will take more photos. Enjoy

Bubba takes over the sofa and sometimes he will share it with me.

Baby Sister has several beds like this one and she moves from one to the other.

Bubba is getting ready to take his evening time nap.

This is one of Bubba's sleep positions.

Please turn out the light, it is getting in my eyes and keeping me awake.

Bubba finally gets to go to sleep.

This is Bubba's bed and he has began using it a lot lately.

This is running cedar that we found on a hillside on the back of the farm near the swampy area by the creek.

Moss growns on the trails that we walk on through the woods. We take little patches of it and carry it to the cemetery lot and it really looks good.

Photo is of the creek that runs on the back side of the farm.

We have hundreds of Nandina bushes growing behind our house and the birds have spread the seeds all over the farm. They are coming up everywhere.

One of the older bluebird houses that are placed around the farm.

We have a lot of squirell nests around the farm, there is no hunting allowed because we feel that there should be some places that the wildlife can feel safe.

This is another photo of the creek, notice the small rocks in the sand and the old leaves that are deteriorating.

This is our renter's dog Jolly coming to meet us as we began our walk. She is real strong and frisky. She loves to be petted and is a very friendly dog if she knows you.

This is a pile of day lily stalks that I had piled up and I liked the way that they looked, so I took a photo of them.
