Coming home from the river, I spied this doe (and five others who weren't interested in having their picture taken). She stopped long enough for this hurried, driving/moving shot. Wondering what she was looking at behind her, I kept watching when she took off again, and a little forkhorn buck came trotting along behind them, neck stretched out, mouth open.

I think he was still rutting. He was definitely still carrying his headgear.

Lots (and lots) of editing here. I mean lots.

As bad as this pic is, it's tons better than the original.

I've got a fair number of crappy deer in the woods pictures. They blend in pretty well.

These are really non-quality.

On Friday, I went for a walk at lunch time because it was sunny out. I found myself in front of the White House. Across the street from the White House is the Blair House, where visiting heads of state stay.

On Friday, the leader of Italy was there in that white building. The Italian flag was flying over the doorway. He was about to go somewhere, and his motorcade was waiting outside for him. So I stood around and waited for a couple minutes to see him come out. Just then a black Ferrari pulled up and joined the motorcade.

I guess when you are the leader of Italy, you fly a Ferrari over to take part in your motorcade. Sweet. I had a little momentary fantasy of machine guns that would pop up out of the hood, and a smoke screen nozzle in the back. Total James Bond kind of thing.

Why do we only have Cadillacs and Black SUVs? Why not a Corvette or two?

As many great dead race drivers could tell you, Ferrari offers no protection.;)

Left the house the other day, got to the end of my street, and saw this:

I called Popdigr, and when he answered, I asked "Are you feeling alright?"

Those are buzzards, ya see.

:D

One less dove in the world...

...equals one fat black cat that is one dove less hungry.

Just Old Man River, from the back of the bar last night. My place is north a couple hundred feet (to the left in the pics.)

Note the bird feeders strung between the trees. There are always a bunch of finches and such.

I didn't see Oscar (the blue heron) or Snow White (the egret) last night.

that's a nice watering hole

Yes, the Great Miami River. I love it. Though my favorite river in these parts is Stillwater.

March was the anniversary of the devastating flood of 1913. My 'brary had a wonderful display of maps and pictures...it was endless. The Miami Conservacy District was established in 1914 and they built dams and levies.

Wiki say:

This stuff fascinates me, of course. Bodies of water and old buildings enchant me. I think I have an old soul.

Snapped a few weeks ago after chasing a sunset.

I like that. Especially the house porch and windows.

My own personal Rocky the Thieving Squirrel.

Right behind him/her is receiver hitch cover that says "Shoot To Grill". It's fixin' to happen, if I catch him chewing on mah house. He had been trying to get to six hickory nuts in a ziplock bag, inside that box on my carport.
