Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Every once in a while I get a hankerin' for a cold beer.
Haven't had a drink since January '94.
Don't miss the hangovers, headaches, dry mouth, nausea...
Besides, it leaves more money for knives!

That one is a beaut MRWatch, glad your boy feels good enough to work on them. Did your rock and mineral show turn out good.

Hard to tell based on how it photographs but I think that color was called Colonial Cream. To me it always looked sorta like light mustard. When I was a kid a neighbor had a '57 Nomad station wagon that color.jerryd6818 wrote:I don't remember ever seeing a yellow one like that. That leaves me speechless. Fan-fun-tastic!

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
This old girl was visiting a bird feeding platform I built at the back of our house today. It was really nice to see her there. I was within six feet from her at times. She spent over 2 hours back there. She was a little confused as to where she found herself but eventually moved on.

A highly spectacular visit to a back yard feeder. Very cool. I've never seen a turkey thru my kitchen window, only turkey vultures.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
We had one set of turkey tracks across the backyard in the fresh snow yesterday morning. There is a flock(or is it a congress, I forget) in the south end of the forty our house is in with a couple dozen birds, but they seldom come to our end probably because of our dogs on patrol. It's a little unusual for one to be wandering around by itself and it appeared to know where it was going because the tracks were as straight as an arrow across the yard and into the woods on the other side.___Dave

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
I looked it up. A group o turkeys are either referred to as a "gang" or a "rafter". ---► https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_E ... _by_animaldjknife13 wrote:There is a flock(or is it a congress, I forget) in the south end of the forty our house is in with a couple dozen birds, Dave
Personally, I doubt there are very many people who are familiar with those designations and a more common name in today's society would be "flock", as you called them.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Those are Turkey buzzards dogleg. At least that's what they told me. Seriously, the red head is the giveaway. A grim fact: Black Buzzards showed up at Gettysburg promptly after the battle. It was supposedly the first time they had been seen that far north. Can't vouch for the veracity of the story.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Always have difficulty with the two. I will watch red heads from now on. The Gettysburg story is reasonable as they are opportunist. Some one said that they look on Interstate Highways as cafeteria's.Quick Steel wrote:Those are Turkey buzzards dogleg. At least that's what they told me. Seriously, the red head is the giveaway.

It's wild flower season in Texas and it's a tradition to take pictures of people sitting in the bluebonnets (Texas state flower). After church my wife and mother in-law were out taking pictures and I came across this bee. It's also common to find fire ants and snakes in the bluebonnets.

A very nice photo. [The fire ants and snakes would keep me out of the blue bonnets.]
