Welcome to Day 153 :) Six full months !! Who would have thought. When I started this I figured a couple weeks .. maybe a month LOL boy was I wrong ... I didn't realize how much enjoyment I was going to get out of shooting daily and sharing with y'all. Three cheers for us !!!
So it's all about the Flowers today .. it's been a while since we posted any and I don't know about y'all but I could use some pretty flowers to look at for a change. For my part I wanted to do blooming cactus .. since that's pretty much all we have here. But of course nothing is blooming at the moment .. it's too hot and dry out .. so I had to go to the archives for some examples. I look forward to seeing what's blooming in your world.

can't forget the Hedgehog Cactus

Roadrunner Loc: Quebec, Canada

Those are beauties all right. Spent a few days in Organ Pipe and saw many,,,,actually I was looking for them, but on a wary note as the snakes had started coming out.

I know this is not a flower but I thought that you all might be interested in how Zues is getting on now. He has improved out of sight and is really fitting into the family now. Today he caught his first mouse and even though the photos are not that good I thought that they would show how happy he seems to be now. Hw was very happy with himself catching a mouse and the fact that he loves to be outside after being in a vets cage for so long. He is turning into a very loving kitten.

Zues looks happy at catching the mouse.. but what about the photographer who caught Zues catching the mouse.. thats amazing action wildlife photography... next National Geographic..keep smiling
