Feeding The Ducks At The Park

A couple of Sundays ago, I thought we should go somewhere as a family and have some fun.   I didn't want to go to any of our usual places.  My daughter had attended a birthday party at a park last spring and asked if we could go there.  Bingo!!! Perfect idea.

The park has a playground next to some water where there are a lot of ducks and geese.  There are paths all around the water and areas to feed them.  We had a wonderful time.  Best of all is that we didn't even have to spend any money, just some stale bread.

Wishing On A Rainbow

It rained almost all of last weekend, but after the rains left there was a beautiful rainbow.  My daughter came running in the house all excited yelling, "Mama come quick and see the rainbow!"  So I just grabbed my iPod real quick and snapped a couple pictures.

Rainbow is now fading away.



After the rainbow was gone, the sky had this cool pinkish color.

Surrounded By Nature

These are just some random nature shots I've taken.  I love all the different nature I get to see living here in Texas.

Walking Sticks are so interesting looking.

Three turtles swimming picture
Finally caught three turtles swimming at the Mustang Island Jetties.  I always try to snap a picture of them when they surface, but I usually miss them.

Dove on patio picture
This is the dove that crash landed on my patio from a tree after almost being a cat's dinner.

bird nesting on the golf course picture
I am not sure what kind of bird this is.  It was on the golf course and couldn't be but  a few hours old.  His feathers were still wet and  looked patchy.
