Here's my nature shot for the week. My bella donna lilies started blooming a few days ago. I took this photo just before I left for work yesterday morning. Couldn't resist grabbing my camera when I saw how the early-morning sun shone on the garden.

I think there is a manufacturing plant of them under my house! That's ok though, I love them. Watching the sun go down last night, I had a pleasant sight. For the first time this year , I had a few deer hang out in the field south of my house! They come up from the Colorado River which is less than 1/4 mile from me.

yes, they are amazingly protective. some of these located their nests less than 10 feet from the driveway, so they tended to freak out every time a car went by..

WHAT TO DO IF A GOOSE ATTACKS
* Maintain direct eye contact and keep your chest
and face pointed at the goose.
* If the goose acts aggressively, calmly and slowly
back away, watching for obstacles.
* Maintain a neutral demeanor, i.e., do not act hostile
or show fear.

I love the little guy with his mouth open. He's too lazy to get up, but he wants something from Mom and Dad.

My advice: cover your _____. Whatever needs protecting the most.

I called the picture: Wait for me!

Mom, dad and sibling were walking in the opposite direction. Gosling noticed they're on the move and didn't want to be left alone.

Like your picture of the bella donna lillies btw.

THanks for the beautiful photos, everyone.

THis is frog season in SW Florida. Every night, some stupid frog (the ones w/the suction cup feet) climbs up my bedroom window just to watch my cats go nuts. That's one frog with a warped sense of humor, IMO. This morning, we saw all sorts of really tiny little frogs in our plants and climbing up the side of the house (not on the window!).
