Wait 5 minutes and the weather will change...

 
It's warm out today but that is fix'in to change soon
 
I found the male wren watching over his female as she checked out a nesting sight!
 

And the hummingbird feeder is being emptied by the bees, they know what is coming!!
 
It is 74 degrees F. outside right now and Monday it is going to be in the 40's with a low of 27...Brrr....
 
I hope y'all stay warm!!

Winter is here...

 
Even though I am seeing wildflower plants coming up Winter is here...
 
We had a heavy frost/freeze last night and this morning there was ice on the water buckets!!
But the sun was out and it's warming up once again...I see tomorrow it is suppose to be in the 70's and then it looks as though another arctic front comes through, brr...
 
Hope y'all stay warm!!

Someone to love, some work to do,
A bit of o' sun, a bit o' cheer.
And a guardian angel always near.
God Bless You.
Happy 2014

Nature Walk at Goliad state Park with lots of birds, Bow practice and beautiful clouds = Great day!!

 
 
We went to town to get doughnuts this morning and I thought why don't we go eat breakfast at the Goliad State park...it was so nice out, time to enjoy!
 

Michael had my binoculars and spotted this Golden-fronted woodpecker. A bit far for a decent photo but I was proud of Michael for spotting it first!
 
 

Squirrel Mom!! Squirrel...he gets so excited when he spots a Squirrel! Silly boy!
 
 

Come on Mom!! (another words stop taking photos and get over here!)
 
 

Uh Oh my boy has left me, ekk...
 
 

White-throated sparrow, winters here, summer in the Northern forests.
 
 

American Goldfinch, winter plumage.
 
 

Michael loves the exposed roots of the trees!!
 
 

Blue Blue skies...
 
 

Yellow-rumped Warbler, I see a lot of these at our property!
 
 

Northern Cardinal
 
 

Possibly a red-shouldered Hawk. It was in a tree on the other side of the river!


Couch's Kingbird...so pretty! That yellow really stood out!
 
 

Turkey Vulture...Goliad State Park has a lot of vultures!
 
 

Interesting...a very BIG yellow/green leaf...hmmm!!
 
 

Very interesting...he had me laughing, he's so funny!!
 
 

Chickadee, dee, dee...Such a busy little bird!
 
 

A wildflower, I found a Wildflower...Not sure what it was but looked to be from the Mint Family. I am too lazy tonight to get the wildflower books out :)
 
 

Black Vulture!
 
 

My boy and his soda's, sigh!! So not healthy!!
 
 

Great Kiskadee...a tropical fly catcher also found in Bermuda. He was very loud!
 
 

Our walk is done, this boy is hot and ready to head home!!

Then we got back to the house and he wanted to do some target practicing with his bow...

He needs to work on his aim!
 
 
 
 

Loading up...


Draw...

 
 
 

Then I got distracted by the flock of geese flying over...They were loud!!
 
 

He's loving his bow.

This evening the clouds moved in just before sunset...They were so cool, the different colored blues caught my eye!
 

And at sunset the clouds split and you could see the soft colors of the setting sun in the clouds in the back...
 
 
We had a great Sunday and really enjoyed the weather, sunshine and warmth is so nice!!
 
 
 
 

Blue Northerner...

 
also known as a Cold front off in the distance just sitting there....In Texas they are called Blue Northerns or Northerners and it's fix'in to blow in sometime soon....
 
I'd rather it just sat there and stayed away!!
We had a gorgeous day today!
