This Week Scavenger Hunt

The items for Ashley’s scavenger hunt this week are:  walking, yummy to my tummy, favorite toy, what I did this week, and anything.  These all fit together really well to sum up my week.

This morning, as I was feeding my little bottle kid, I noticed how a fog had settled in the bottom.  It really made the pasture look magical.

Then I noticed a hawk on sitting in the trees on the far side of the pasture.  I knew I wouldn’t get very close, but I thought I might get close enough to take a decent picture of it before flying away.  I took off walking across the pasture, still in my pajamas.  Funny thing about hawks around here. They don’t pose.  You get so close, and then they stand, take care of business, and  turn their back to you.

Then they take flight.

Since I had my favorite toy in my hand (my Nikon D3100) and my feet were already soaking wet from walking in the morning dew, I decided to take advantage of the beautiful dewdrops on the grass.

Later in the morning, I noticed the squirrel had come up to get some dog food.  It is certainly yummy to his tummy.  Anyhow, he eats enough of it.

What I did this week,  was to spend as much time in pasture as I could.

Each evening I went out with the goats and llama and just took all kinds of pictures.  It’s especially nice when that big yellow-orange sun is going down and makes the world look beautiful.

Life is good! (Especially since I wasn’t standing under the hawk)

At Least It’s Pretty

It’s still been cold.  At least we’ve had a bit of sunshine the last day or so.  It made for a beautiful sunset.

It’s also melted the snow on the barn roof causing all kinds of icicles on the fence.

It’s still time for some spring weather.

Nature’s Treasure

It’s been pretty much just a routine of work, chores, and writing around here lately, so I just have a couple of sunset pictures to share tonight.
