Rabbits, Snakes, and Flowers; Oh My!

See that thing? Snakes again. Geesh. I couldn't get a pic of the whole thing, he was moving fast. I also couldn't get the setting on the camera right because I was 1) afraid to take my eyes off him 2) trying to keep my eye on the Littlest so HE didn't get him 3)he was moving too fast. Dammit, there was just too much going on in that moment. So, clearly you can see that he's not gargantuan but S.T.I.L.L. it's a SNAKE. Are you getting the heeby jeebies yet? Needless to say, this thing met it's untimely death about 2 minutes later when my hero hubby came round the calamatous corner weilding a big ole' shovel. Yeah, just let your imagination go with that one. Littlest and I retreated into the house before the guts started flying..Do the sign of the cross, go ahead, I've already asked for forgiveness on that one.

See that bunny? It's real. I think HE met HIS untimely death in our backyard last night. Not from one of us (come on, seriously, it's a BUNNY, we aren't killers for goodness sake) but whatever got him, got him good. There was fur and innards and what looked like the roof of a mouth laying in our back yard this afternoon. Nice flies buzzing too. YUCK! It was back in the area below our bedroom window but I can promise you I heard nothing last night. I was too busy sawing logs and must've been deep in it. For the record, we really DON'T live in a forrest. We aren't in the country people. There is a lakey thing, there are trees nearby and I have noticed an increase in the hawk population (love to watch them fly actually, very beautiful). This tells me, animal population around here thrives, and clearly, very clearly, it does. Phew.
These are some of the African Daisies I have in the front yard. Love them. LOVE them. They make me happy.
Here is where I de saturated some of the color. Love that too. Not quite black and white but barely color in the photo. I can't wait till I get the gumption up to print, mat, and frame all my flower and nature stuff. I'm still collecting thankyouverymuch. ;)

Phew. Lions and tigers and bears oh my. But round here it's rabbits and snakes and flowers oh my.

GN!

PS I'm watching a repeat of Michael Moore on Larry King; up way too late "doing things" (Bean!). They're getting me all riled up on politics for this late hour. Need to turn that mess off. I hear it enough in the day hours.....ya think?
