Ducks In The Mist

Dawn

Wet dog at dawn

Jake and I went out at daybreak to open the irrigation gate. While I was cleaning out the ditches as the water flowed in, Jake got all wet romping around in the cool early morning wetness. There was enough rain up north over the past week to raise the water level in the river enough to irrigate.

Sunflower: “Jake! You are such a silly dog!’

Ducks in the mist

After I got all the leaves out of the ditches, Jake and I went on a walk to the river and saw ducks in the mist.

Jake was worn out after romping around, getting all wet, and watering all the tumbleweeds on the way to and from the river.

Silver: “Listen clueless, pathetic paprazzo. We should ‘Beware’ of Spunk!”

We Care! To be Aware of Spunk.

A Roadrunner by Zimmerman Library

A roadrunner was hanging out on the west side of Zimmerman Library this afternoon. A juvenile roadrunner came up behind the adult and acted like it was begging for food. Then it laid down on the stone walk behind the adult. It might have been making itself invisable so il paparazzo couldn’t see it. The adult roadrunner rolled a prickly pear fruit near the juvenile, but the juvenile just stayed in the same position.

The adult walked over to the juvenile, nudged it with its foot, and then walked off and disappeared behind a bush. The juvenile stayed in the same position.
