Day 28..."Just Chillin"

 
Gunner knows how to enjoy the beautiful day...
 
 
 
Starting with the flip....
 
 
Twisting into the roll...
 
 
 Ending with a nap   

Day 28...Great White Pelicans

 
On a cool, dreary and wet day we trudged through
the mud and muck in an effort to get closeup shots of eagles.
Who would have thought we would see eagles and
great white pelicans fishing together on a Missouri
lake?
The eagles did not want close up photos today so
I will have to be safisfied with a distant view.

Several mature and immature Bald Eagles
worked hard all morning
soaring and diving
capturing their
next meal

Day 24...See The Tree

 
A silo stands sturdy and tall
Supporting a tree roots and all.

Day 23...What a Hoot

 
Whoo are you?
This owl appeared to be asking
as I fumble around with my camera in
excitement of getting his photo.

Day 22...Sunset on the Farm

 A winter's evening on the farm with
bitterly cold temperatures
The setting sun emits a warm glow

Day 21...Soaring Eagles

 
 

 
 

An amazing thing happened today. On my way to find an eagle to photograph I see two beautiful creatures flying right outside our home. They were soaring very high, gliding around in the sky.
A part of their mating ritual.
 
 
 
Seagulls were abundant soaring
around and diving for fish
below the dam

Day 19...January 19, 2013

 
A robin perched upon a tall treetop
 
Basking in the rays of light
 
As an unseasonably warm
 
Winter day ends...

I could only hope if I live to be 90+
I'm sporting a Gingerbread Girl
on my shiney blue walker!

I love old barns full of character
Filled with years of history
Providing protection
Withstanding the elements

A different perspective on
Queen Anne's Lace
A little play with abstract

No beaches or mountains
midwest sunset
Radiant beauty

Waves of clouds came rolling in before the rain and sleet blanketed the ground.

A tree stands proud upon a hill
The winter chills reveal it's core
Branches are it's veins of life

Day 6...January 6, 2013

      
 
A little woodpecker has returned
to our bird feeder again this year.
We see him flying around our land and he
comes to our back deck to dine on birdseed.
He doesn't seem too concerned about our presence.

Saturday Hoops!
 
Another season of shooting hoops and
building skills on the court.
Loads of fun as seen in the smiles
and a sparkle in the eyes!

Meet "Cutie Pie"  the baby gecko peering out from under her

warm rock.  She is the newest addition and is becoming accustom

to her new home.

The hardest part of a painting project is selecting the perfect color.
 
Thank goodness for these handy little sample jars!

Day 2..January 2, 2013

 
The stately buildings stand proud
 
on the Missouri State Fairgrounds full of
 
memories, fun and the laughter of fair goers from years past.
 
Off season activities keep the buildings boombing on the weekends.

Happy New Year
2013
 
Happy New Beginnings
 
David and I grew a garden and learned to can in 2012.
In 2013 we plan to continue to perfect our new skills.  No better way
than to begin the new year enjoying our canned apple pie filling
by baking Crumb Topped Apple Pie with homemade Caramel Topping!
