I spotted this cat while I was out photographing some fences the other day.  It was really wary of me and I barely managed to get a shot of it before it dashed off into some bushes.

Coming home from the store I happened to see a woman leaning down next to a truck parked in a nearby alley.  I wondered what she was doing and then I noticed she was trying to coax a rabbit out from under the truck.  I quickly pulled in our driveway, got my camera and called Coleen.  We headed across the street and down to the alleyway.  The rabbit managed to hop out into the alley and I snapped a couple of shots.  This is the only decent one that I got.  The guy who lived there said it was the next door neighbors rabbit and sometimes it get's loose.  I hope they got it back inside as we live on such a busy street I'd hate for the poor thing to get hit by a car.

Always fun to spot something out of the ordinary.  Hope you've enjoyed my critters today.  -  Have a great day.  

Camera Critters and Saturday's Critters

Joining in with Eileen (Viewing Nature) for Saturday's Critters and also Camera Critters.

I've had these photos in my files since May and just haven't gotten around to posting them yet.

We took a little drive (My mom, Coleen and I) one afternoon and on our way home we spotted these deer on a hillside so I pulled over and snapped a few pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love seeing deer in the wild and actually being able to photograph them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The one on the left was really checking me out.  The one on the right said, "Who cares, let's eat!"

Now we are really being watched.

 

Finally they decided they were tired of me snapping their picture so off they went.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as we did.  I love the "White-Tail" deer in our part of the country.  Edit:  Thanks to Brian (Brian King Images) he helped identify these deer as Mule rather then White-Tail)  We have both in our area.  Another post here:  http://wishesdreamsandotherthings.blogspot.com/2012/08/whatever-wednesday-bennington-lake.html  Shows the White-Tail.

Camera Critters and Shadow Shot Sunday2

Hello Everyone.  My gosh I wish this summer wasn't so busy because I've so missed visiting with all of you.  I try to pop in at least once a week to see what you are all up to.  I do hope you won't give up on me because I promise I'll be back to regular blogging after the Wedding is over.

This past week we had company from Monday-Friday morning.  My Mother-in-law, and Sister-in-law and Great Nieces were here visiting as they moved from Idaho to S. Dakota.  Needless to say most of the week was spent visiting with them which left little time for blogging. 

Anyway I thought I would join in on Camera Critters and Shadow Shot Sunday2 with this photo I managed to take this week.

I spotted our cat, Harley sitting in the window in the afternoon and loved the combination of his shadow with the Sun Hanger and water bottle outside.

And here he is this morning enjoying some sunshine from my Craft/Computer Room.  (aka - The Office).

I hope to visit a few blogs today and throughout the week.  It's VBS (Vacation Bible School) this coming week though and I've been asked to take pictures during the week so I'm not sure how much blogging I'll get done yet again.

Take care & know that I am still around and miss you all.



It's all about "Critters"

First up some happy but wet ducks sitting in our parking strip yesterday during a rain shower.  (Yes I know we need to mow).

 





 

Next a very sleepy and relaxed kitty.  This is our Spooky-boo taking a siesta in his favorite chair.

 

 

How about a funny little squirrel enjoying a peanut.  Be sure to check out the last photo today for a BIG surprise!

While out and about yesterday taking some photos I spotted this sweet little kitty in someone's yard and stopped to take it's picture.

 

 

 

Finally I was driving by on my way to the grocery store and I spotted the biggest Squirrel I've ever seen in my life.  I pulled over right away and quickly grabbed my camera and got out being extra careful not to scare this squirrel but it was busy eating a nut so it didn't pay much attention to me.  Whew because seriously with a squirrel this huge you wouldn't want to make it angry!

 

Wait for it......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Gottcha!"  -  A woodcarving in someone's yard.  They made good use of an old tree that they cut down.
