As you know, I visited the zoo over the weekend. One of my favorite exhibits was one featuring these enormous bats. They were hanging from the ceiling, wrapped in their wings. Its the semi-transparent wings that really stand out for me.

colonization
Last weekend, a colony of bees swarmed on the farm. Coincidently, a colony was lost over the weekend. Jumping on the opportunity, the farmers suited up, scooped up the new colony and placed it in an empty bee hive. That's a win-win for everybody.
fun in bloom
This past weekend, I found a really interesting patch of flowers on the side of the road.
The flower patch had a wide varitety of mostly blue flowers. However, there were white, pink and yellow flowers as well.
I happily snapped away for more than an hour. I had so much fun that I just might go back next weekend as well.
arthur e brown
Monday morning, I took my annual Memorial Day walk through our local cemetery. I can't help but stop and wonder about the men buried in these graves. Arthur E Brown was born in 1880. What war did he fight in? Did he go to Mexico to chase Pancho Villa? Did he ride with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba? I'll bet he cold tell some great stories.
chair and broom corn
Sometimes, keeping the image simple and relying on good tones is the best way to go.
prairie morning
Yesterday morning, I woke early and headed over to the prairie near our home. I never know what I will find when I get there in the morning. There was a little mist and a lot of beauty.
Birds, bugs, and blooms… all were spectacular in their own way. I had the place to myself and took full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy Mother Nature's serenity.
leap of faith
running with the big dogs
At the farm, there is a goat named Zach. You can see his head in the center of the image, barely above the grass. And, there in lies Zach's problem.
You see, Zack doesn't realize that he is not a Percheron like the rest of the draft horses. He thinks he is a big horse. Zach even bucks like them. And they in turn accept Zach as part of the herd. Just wait until the farmer tries to hook Zack up to the plow. Then we will really know what he is made of.
