Beautiful photos of your slice of Utopia, Dan! Really nice picture of a great looking dog and wife, although, your dog seems to be a little distracted by a squirrel, or something.

Great photos, OH...Thanks for sharing. Your wife has a most caring spirit for nature...and I'm sure, for you.
You're a lucky man!

Your wife is a special person Dan. Your wife and my wife would get along really good. Heck, my wife even likes snakes now...... Go figure that.

And on top of that, the killer bees are in our state now.

Doc B, I in my own opinion, think that Deadwood is the best tv show ever. Just my opinion.

Thank you Ike
Cheetah is easily "distracted," here he is when there is no leash restraining him from his natural hunting instinct. I hope he never looks at me like that.
As for the birds, I just posted a story with an explanation of Anna's Hummingbirds within the "Ornithology Bird Thread"

Re: what do ya'll look like?
One of the advantages of a large family is that you have lots of kids and grandkids to see.
One of the disadvantages of a large family is you have lots of kids and grandkids to see and they live in other states!
Consequently we don't get to see them as often as we would like. I missed my grandson and his family last summer when they were here because I was in the hospital with hernia surgery. They live in California so we don't get down there very often but they did come up here last week to celebrate Brawly's birthday.
This is my great-grandson Brawly we had a birthday party for him Saturday at my daughter's house.
This is the first time I had held Brawly. I picked him up and he snuggled right down into my arms.
Melted this great granddad's heart!

You got to admit Dale. Grandkids and Great-Grandkids are the best. Cute little rascal.

Great photo Dale.
It appears that Brawly does not want to let go of Grandpa.

A GREAT moment in time for you and Brawley, Dale. I know of what you experienced emotionally.
