Country!

    


Now that is about as country as it comes!  I was walking down the road with my camera the last time we went camping at
Magnet and it was early in the morning as the sun was coming up and this is what I passed and I couldn't help but stop and take a picture, it was so pretty.  The night be before in that same field there were so many lightning bugs that it was bright enough that I thought I could get a picture of them but it didn't turn out because I didn't have my tripod with we :((( and couldn't hold it still enough. I have never seen that many fire flies at one time in my life. Good 'ol Crawford Co. for you!

Evil Eye

Sorry folks I know this is a little scary, but this is the true 
'evil eye' and it was on the porch the other  night when I got home from work. I stuck the camera out the door and snapped a picture. Looks like something off TV !

Don't tell nobody....

...but I think he likes them! This one turned out to be a rooster in our bunch of HENS. He gets chased by our other big rooster quite a bit, and when they get to go out of the coop to roam around he always stays by himself-at least he isn't a dumb bird. He stays well out of the other roosters way.  He calls and calls the little hens but nobody pays any attention to him... bless his little chicken heart. 
 Dustin likes to rattle his cage, so to speak, and this time he got within  arms reach and got  nabbed! 

Easter Eggs

This is a couple of eggs from the Arucana (sp?) breed of chickens, aka, Easter Eggers. This particular eggs actually come from my bossed hens. I have 6 of the same kind of  hens, but mine are still to young to lay yet. I should have some little blue eggs in a few months though.
 Now if we could find a chicken to lay pink and purple eggs we would be all set for the Easter holiday and wouldn't have to bother dying the eggs.

Roanoke, North Carolina

Roanoke island was a real pretty place, we watched an
outdoor play about the lost colony that had you on the
edge of your seat, it was very interesting. It is intriguing
to wonder what ever happened to all those people.
I would have loved to look around on that boat, but it
was not allowed.

Seaweed

I found this on a early morning walk on the beach, seaweed and
other stuff would wash up on the sand from the nights high tide. I thought it was an interesting photo.

Cat Nap



This is a typical day in the life of the shop cat Missy!
That is a file basket that is up on top of the cabinet .
I think she might get up there to get  away from all
the office traffic.  She was a little bedraggled kitten
that wondered over here from the feed store across
the road. Pam being the animal softy that she is let
her in the office and she  never left. Now she is the
topic of just about everyone that comes in the front
door!
