The flowering plum tree has been in our courtyard for three seasons now. This year, it seems that the flowers have arrived about a week earlier than last year. Maybe we can have some plum fruit this season. That would be nice. Click on the image to enlarge.
We thought that the hummingbirds would migrate away from here for the winter, but they did not. I filled up the feeders with nectar which the hummers would drain away within a matter of a couple of days. I guess they are hardier than they look. This little guy was feasting on one of the two feeders hanging just outside of the screened-in patio just a couple of days ago. Click on the image to enlarge.
The neighbors house is on a two-acre spread, most of which is natural desert flora and fauna. Among those is this nice Beavertail Cactus (opuntia basilaris) which just started displaying its beautiful bright pink flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
I took this photo of Verna taking the above photo. When she sees our Beavertails flowers opening, I’m sure she will post some nice close up cactus flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Daddy tells me that I am four years old today. I am a happy boy and I love my family. The Mama and the Daddy adopted me two and a half years ago.
The Mama took this picture of me on the patio. Click on the image to make me big.
Not exactly humpday, although there is a camel in a pen by the local Tractor Supply Store. We’re not sure what the promotion is about, but we saw kids getting rides on this big guy earlier in the week. Click on the image to enlarge.
Sometimes after we go for a walk, the Daddy will pick me up and carry me to the house. If I don’t want to be picked up, I will squirm until the Daddy puts me down again. Today I wanted to be picked up. Click on the image to make us big.
