I am supposing all those hummers are Red-Throats which would make them all females. If so, I wonder where the males are.

That looks like a very healthy skunk.

Neat shots Bighomer!

Neat pics, BigH.
Skunk out during the day? Or was that closer to evening?
I thought they're primarily nocturnal, and if out during the day makes them to be suspect of being rabid.

QS the little roosters are around but the hens seem to outnumber them. Steve it was dusk, he comes around fairly often he's really a pretty one, another comes by some but doesn't have near as much white on him and his stripes are more yellowish and smaller, may have just been dirty. They seem to be healthy and they like cracked corn along with the rabbits, squirrels and coons.

Summer in north Texas black land prairies. Ground cracks so much you hope you don't lose any neighborhood kids.

I thought I was looking at rocks. Talk about dry earth.

Heck I thought it was cow chips.

I thought the same!

Cow chips would be an improvement.

Found this big feller in the garage a few years ago. The bricks will have to do for perspective. He/she was a bigg'un.

Big Homer, it's nice to see that some folks still hang their washing out to dry.

No dryer sheet came duplicate sun-dried freshness.

Nothing better than crawling in between line dried sheets. Yeah baby!!!!

Don't know what yawl are referring to but if you feed birds like I do you don't hang anything out to dry. If your talking about that fluddering above that ole cat that's a out of focus garden flag.

Found in the garden this evening.

Nice critters!
I got a critter of a different sort at the PNE yesterday.
The Pacific National Exhibition is our version of a state fair, only huge.
Last year, I won the boy. This year, my niece got the girl and donated her to me.
He is Toonie because it cost two bucks to win him. We refer to our $2 coin as a toonie. Her name is Belladonna, as Donna was the one that won him.
I think they like each other!
They are actually quite large. He must be close to three feet.

These are a couple of pics of spiders called Huntsman that we have over here. They cannot kill you, but can make you very sick.

You would not be saying that if it bit you.

Well, a tiger is definitely pretty, but it could make me much deader than that spider!
Actually, if it bit me, I’d probably be saying something like -
“Aaaaarrrrrrgh! GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!
Arrrrgh!”

This fellow is living in Leon, the Downstairs Guys window, in the inside
It better stay there!

We finally got some cooler weather so I got busy with the chain saw, Ford tractor and log chain and got my yard cleaned up from the storm we had a while back. That ole tractor is over 50 years old and the Stil saw is over 40 still cutting the mustard
