Beautiful Richard - this is indeed my favorite time.

Trees fresh green - lots of colors all around.  We have Peonies about to bloom, Aliums out, Phlox nearly done actually, Irises coming to bloom - oh so many.

Apart from the grass being over-zealous with growth, it's great! :)

Richard,

I also enjoy the pictures.  I could sit for hours at the little pond.

Here you go, Bill:


Joyce and I are taking the rest of the week off from work and are heading back to Critter Creek later this morning.  I'll check in again Sunday night.  In the meantime, y'all be sure to take good care of the Forum.   ;)

Truly a wonderful sight from your window, Dave.   You are a blessed man.

The best way to catch one is to sprinkle a little salt on their tail, then they are easy to pick up.   :D

They used to take me snipe hunting, so I've learned a lot about  handling wildlife.

*Salt on the tail trick*

Well, it wasn't funny when I found out it was a *TRICK*  After wearing myself out chasing those Mocking Birds around with a Salt Shaker in my hand, for an hour are so..   :-[

         Fly A Helicopter


Think you can you fly a helicopter? Okay, go ahead and give it
your best shot. Warning ..this is addictive (and not easy!)

Click on the helicopter, hold the left mouse key down to go up
and release the key to go down. But take heed,
don't start with this thing.. it'll drive you nuts!!!
Ready to start?? OK .. Click on the site below:

For those who missed the Zombie hunt here it is again.

Kill the Zombies before they rip your head off.  
 
Use shift key to change weapons - nice if you can get the shotgun.  Has different levels.   Has sound

Hey Dave, did the older scouts also send you to find a left handed smoke shifter? ;D ::).  This was one I had prior warning about so didn't get caught in.

Yes Roc - the ole "left handed smoke shifter" - was sent to find one of those also on that first scout camping trip.

  Spring Deer

Taken from inside the house this morning through the windows.  They are looking up because my dog Spencer started barking at them.


You can see the new antlers starting to form on this buck
