The sun is going down and everything is golden. We have a small pond on our place and it's pretty full right now. In the summer it goes down but hasn't gotten dry, thank goodness. Jake likes it. He found a beaver out there one day, think I've mentioned that before.
I SOOO wanted to have a photo to show you of our roadrunner. At our main home where we live right now, we have a sliding glass door on the back of the house. Yesterday, when I got off work, I went home and walked by the studio where the glass door is. There gawking at himself in the reflection of the glass was a tall speckled roadrunner. I stood right by the glass and he never saw me. I've never seen one do this--- He preened back and forth in front of the glass, looking at himself, cocking his head, ruffling up the top-knot of feathers on his head, spreading his tail feathers out, turning back and forth, admiring his beauty from every side. Or, perhaps he thought he was wooing a lady roadrunner. Who knows! You've seen parrots, parakeets and cockatiels do this, but I never knew roadrunners did! It was so cute. I didn't move for about 5 minutes. I finally backed up and reached for my camera. I edged around the corner of the house and as soon as he saw me, he bolted back into the pasture. Shoot!
