Day 59- Solaris


This is Solaris and his dad, Doc. Solaris is a five year old Bornean Orangutan. His dad is under the blanket! They all love to cover their heads ups. Today he was really getting on his dad's nerves and his dad kept pushing him down. Little Solaris just kept getting up and doing it all over again. He doesn't know how to take no for an answer! LOL!! Sound like any 5 years you know!!!

Day 56- Just me


This is a picture that Nathan took of me. We were in downtown and he wanted to take pictures. We were walking back to our vehicle and I told him to take a pic of me looking up at him in the mirror. So he took a picture of the mirror hanging on the wall and not actually of me! I think it turned out pretty cool!

Day 55- American/Texas Pride!!


It was such a beautiful day today and these flags really looked great against the blue sky. The top one, for those of you who don't know, is the American flag. It is suppose to always go on top and fly the highest out of any flag. The second one is the Texas flag. To learn more about the Texas flag you can visit this site

Day 54- The back is just as cute!


Jiggs likes to be on the lookout when we are outside. I thought why not do a back of the head shot! I think he looks just as cute from the back as from the front! Then again, I'm a little bias!!!

Day 53- Awesome Sunset


I was super close to missing this awesome sunset last night!!! I got up to close the blinds and saw this!!! The top picture was taken first and the bottom one was taken about a minute later. I just stood there and kept shooting until all the red was gone!! It was even more amazing in real life!

Day 51- Cheetah's


Here is a picture of a couple of cheetah's. These guys thought I had some food and kept watching me. This girl in front even tried to sniff my camera! It's interesting that they have them in with some African Shepherd Dogs. The reason is to show that in Africa instead of killing the cheetah's the farmers are getting these dogs to keep them away from their livestock. The dogs are domesticated and seem to get along well with the cheetah's.

Day 50- Jonathan's mate


This is Jonathan's mate. I really don't much about her. I don't even know her name. All I know is that when I was walking up to them she was stalking me and I'm sure she was thinking what a good meal I'd make! LOL!! I only took one picture of her because she made me feel uneasy! LOL!

Day 48- Blooming Christmas Cactus!!!!


It finally bloomed after all these years!!! Whoo-hoo!!! I'm guessing maybe it's an Easter Cactus and not a Christmas Cactus. I moved it to a sunny window and before I knew it there was a bloom!!!!I'm so excited!

Day 47- Jiggs eye


I decided to share a picture with you that we have framed in our living room.

This is a picture I took of my dogs eye right when we got the new camera. We liked it so much that we decided to blow it up to 8x10 and frame it. It sits on top of our desk in the living room. We have had so many questions and comments about it that I wanted to share it with you all!

Day 46- Lizard


This is a little lizard I saw on my porch today. We have these all over the place. I'm not sure what they are called but they do change colors to match their background. They must be some sort of chameleon.
