From
08/04/2005 - 08/07/2005, we took a break up at the ranch. While there,
I found this snake on our driveway. It turns out that this one is a
prairie rattlesnake, but it is a young one, since it does not yet have
a rattle (the rattlesnake gets one button on it's rattle each time it
molts).
|
|
Since I was
a bit excited to find such a fine specimen, I took several pictures.
Here is the next one.
|
|
And the
next...
|
|
And the
last. By the way, right before we left, I found another larger snake
(with a full rattle), and the same markings and colorings, on the other
end of our ranch.
|
|
We went on
a drive on the back roads with our neighbors (Jason was good enough to
drive). We took this picture of the kids while we were on this trip.
|
|
Megan
finally screwed up the courage to bust a few caps. Here she is!
|
|
I was proud
of Meg, so I took several pictures.
|
|
Go Meg go!
|
|
I need to
teach Meg that you can aim better with your eyes open!
|
|
I took a
hike to a "lake" that was on one of my maps. This is about 2.5miles
from my place. Pretty green, huh?
|
|
These cat
tails are about 8 or 9 eet tall!
|
|
On my way
back from the lake, I scared these six cows (moo) away from their
watering hole (also at the lake). Then, they followed me, so I snapped
a pic!
|
|
Finally (due
to high gas prices), I decided to buy a "new" car! This baby is a 1985
Ford Tempo, whom we call "Buzz". We call this car Buzz because it
vibrates so much at highway speeds (and pings some). Still, I only paid
$2300 (which included tax, license, documentation fee), the car had
only one previous owner, and has only 57000 miles on it. Hope it lasts!
|
|
This is the
front of Buzz. Not bad, huh?
