Visitor

We had company come to visit, and not at all shy!

July in Motion

These were great! The last one he just flew off, as winged things tend to do...

Etowah Mounds

Etowah Mounds, in Etoway, Georgia.
These are thought to be burial mounds....but in the past religious ceremonies were held here above the villiage that surrounded the mounds.

Yellow Swallowtail

Even Butterflies required fluids, The day is hot, muggy and this little one needed fluids so she didn't dehydrate. She is drinking from a wet spot left from the night befores rain.

Irridecent Blue- Black Butterfly

July has been a wonderful month for wildlife. The same time i got these photos I saw a beautiful red fox....but he didn't cooperate with the camera.

Butterfly on Red Clover

What a wonderful sight!

July 4th

Looks at the shapes, colors and textures...all in contrast yet .........

Crazy Horse Memorial

These are the models of what Crazy Horse and his horse will resemble when done. The original sculptor is now dead, but the work is carried on by his wife, son and others.

Crazy Horse Memorial

On a rainy misty day in September we went to the Crazy Horse Memorial. We could barely see it through the mist and rain, but it was still majestic.

Maxamillion Sunflower

This beautiful sunflower was seen as we traveled through Colorado along Interstate 70.

Buffalo

This buffalo was so close I dared not open the car door to get a better look....I could here the grass munching as he ate!

In Yellowstone we saw alot of wildlife.

Old Cherokee Style House

In Glencoe, Alabama sits this old Cheokee style house.

It is a pass through dwelling. Meaning that there is a center passage down the middle from front to back. There are doors on both inside walls...one leading to the living area, and one leading to the sleeping and storage area.

Tire Tree

This is not one of my better pictures, I include it here for comment.

At first the sight of the tire around the tree was funny....but the more I looked at it the madder i got.

What a prime example of the poor treatment, we as humans, have given the earth, our Mother.

Without this earth, we have no where to live......and we take care of her as if we are spoiled, little children. If we do not take better care of her, the earth will be forced to cleanse herself of the parasites called humans!

Cliff Dwellings

These are cliff dwellings in Canyon de Chelley, Arizona.
I was surprised to find them sitting on the canyon floor.

Black Eyed Susan

This is the Black Eyed Susan, possibly my favorite flower of all.
