Wildflowers

On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. There are always lots of wildflowers growing within the mountains. I am amazed that anything grows in the rough mountainous terrain but it does.

Starling

On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. I saw this starling sitting right on the very top of the mountain. The mountain is probably 100 to 150 feet high, not a very tall mountain by any means, but tall enough. The starling has some grass in her beak for her nest.

Cactus

On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. On the ground I saw this group of small cactus. We have cactus in this part of Canada. They are small but don't let their size fool you. They have prickles and they can hurt.

Woodpecker

On May 15, 2008, the woodpecker was sitting in the hole that she had made in the tree This woodpecker had dug the hole so big that it had actually tore the branch right from this tree.

Pansies

On May 14, 2008, I took a picture of some pansies that are growing on our front lawn. Notice the single dandelion in the front of them. I think someone missed it when they were weeding the lawn.

Skydiver

On May 10, 2008, I saw a Skydiver fall from the sky. Actually he was dropped out of an airplane. I live pretty close to the Kamloops airport and have seen several sky divers so far.

Homie

On May 10, 2008, Homie, the cat that hangs around the auto wrecking yard, decided to pay us a visit again. Homie is a cool cat. He is big and fat and heavy. He loves hugs too.
