Ahhh...Beautiful Sunrise!

A few of the many sunrise photos I have taken on Isla Mujeres.
Will be taken lots more in a few days!

The best Spot in the House

OK, so you think they might be buddies....not really , but will share the space if it means getting close to this.....

The wood stove!  Tuck will curl up on the bricks & put his head under the front of the stove!  Or curl up behind it!

Rafe vs. the Turkeys

Rafe is not a barker, but he went out on Sunday & decided to chase away the turkeys!  He did a great job!You see where he is in the driveway?  Well, that's where his invisible fence line is...he doesn't wear his collar anymore, but does great not going over the line.

He just stood at his line & barked--guarding his domain!

Most of them just flew off into the trees--probably to come out again after the dog has gone in the house

Macro Monday

I decided to combine Macro Monday and Isla.  This is a photo taken last year at Punta Sur.  I saw more butterflies then than I've ever seen there.

To Put it in Perspective

Thought you might like to see the snowpiles around here--this was in the walMart parking lot....After this, no more snow photos...only sand!

Stuck in the Snow!

I started out this morning to run errands that I hadn't gotten to do in the last few days--due to the snowstorm & the dogs diabetic episode on Tues.   looking down the driveway......

Alan's tractor--it gets moved out of the barn so Alan can put his truck inside when it's going to snow.  makes it easier for the guy to come & plow the driveway--it's 800 feet long!

As you all know, I live out in the country, in the wide ( wild) open spaces--lots of it (open space) where the snow can blow around like crazy.  I saw an accident on Sunday in this spot--the snow had filled in the street & some folks had hit each other.  Not too surprising.

These next 2 photos are on the street I live on, not 1/4 mile from my driveway, right by the field where the bison are.  Well, I ran lots of errands and about 2 hours I was on my way home.  I've never had trouble with the drifting snow in the 25 years I've lived out here.  But of course today I got stuck!  ( I should tell you I drive a Subaru Forester & it very good in the snow--this was just too deep.)

I didn't take any pictures after I got stuck--these were on my way out this morning---I got out of my car & went to the closest house--noone was home , but there was a shovel outside so I took it & started to clear the snow away from my tires.  Luckily a guy came up the street in the other direction shortly after I started & helped me free my car.  Strangest thing was--we live on a street with maybe 12 houses--not a through street ( unless you're going to Mohawk State Forest) and 3 more cars came up behind me while I was digging out my car!

Snow--Wordless Wednesday

OK--so a few words--the photos say it all--taken 3 hours ago 7 it's still snowing, but it has let up quite a bit!  Not plowed out yet, so we won't be going anywhere
