Girls Day Out

Big Bird

Caldwell Zoo

Tyler, Texas

I'm very ignorant of bird types. I have no clue whether this is an egret, a heron, or perhaps even a stork.  I don't think it's a stork and I'd bet it's an egret rather than a heron.  But until one of my blogger friends who is much more educated than I on this subject can lend some knowledge, I'll just call him Big [White] Bird!

Eerie Eye

This is Cheyenne.  Her eyes sometimes photograph blue.  I haven't been able to figure that one out yet.

Disclaimer:  At this point in my life, I do not own any animals.  All animals in photographs either belong to friends or neighbors or are animals I encounter in my daily ramblings.

Stuck in the Weeds

I experienced one of those slam-on-the-brakes moments a few weeks ago while cruising through the small community of Chireno, Texas, when I spotted this once-upon-a-time beauty out of the corner of my eye.  There was nothin' doin' but turning around and going back fora closer look.  It was actually parked next to a metal building that sported a sign "Chireno Volunteer Fire Department."  Too bad it wasn't kept in better shape for future generations to see what an early-day but somewhat modern fire truck looked like.  My guess is this would have been used in the 1950s or '60s.  Any of you out there with a thought on the vintage?

My Favorite Alleyway

Every time I visit San Augustine, Texas, 

I find myself seeking out my favorite alleyway to make sure it hasn't changed.

This is actually the gate on an iron fence in our "neighborhood."

Sharing a Morsel of Hay

Morsels is all some horses are getting this winter.  Due to the 18-month drought in this area, the summer hay crop was practically nonexistent and the price of hay is right up there with truffles and caviar!
