Found some strange plants that I have not seen before, ever... or at least that I paid attention to...  

Now here is a Happy Camper! 

By the time I got back to the double pond on my second pass... the sun was headed up... and it was so still and hot ... but you know me.. needed to take a pic.. enjoy... 

Something was really hungry?.... wonder what....  

This is what I see usually looking straight ahead as I walk.. either Sugar or Louise's tail end... Louise was in pen for a few days keeping her and Scobbie from making bacon... and this was her first day back. I enjoyed hearing her yelps.. at almost everything... haha 

Another view of sunup... looking east with highline poles on the left and the trees and the middle pond on the right... cropped down it is awesome....  

After walking past the ponds and up to 68th Street, and back to the center of the section, I turned around and this was the view... kind'a took my breath away... 

The way it was by the time I made it to "Bruce's Pond" ... perfectly still... I wanted to just stop and set and enjoy, but couldn't as I was supposed to be walking, right Ann?? haha.... 

Todays walk started in the dark, again. Guess the days are getting shorter... and that means winter is on the way, and christmas can not be to far behind... haha.. he says with the temp. headed to 105 today!!! Anyho, this is the way it was when I made it to the double pond the first time by... kinda cool... the sun was thinking of getting up, and some clouds were puffing up as if to say... oh no you don't... I have an active imagination when I walk.. haha... 

The smile this young lady has is amazing!!  

Ms. Madison has discovered teeth and that she can bite... oh yeah.... haha... 

Andrew came to spend the night with us along with Madison... and he found one of Jake's ole video games and .... played and played... 

The prairie grass is sure hurting... should have been cut a month ago or more. the ends of grass are brown and you can now see the ground through the grass... 

The pond was very still and mirror like as I walked by this am... 

Sugar had time to find a few turtles this am... but she was pooped when we got back to home cause we did not stop and shot many pics.. haha.... but she did find time to bring her catch to me for me to take a pic of... 

I had to walk early this am, as I had a Dr. Appointment at 7:45am, so I was almost back to home when the sun was coming up... not a cloud in the sky.... but a bird was soaring to new heights watching the sunrise too.... 

The hidden promise... of what will become a new day...

Sugar found three turtles this am, sort of a new LOW record for her.....

This am the sunrise was beautiful... this was at the end of my walk, the next was at the beginning, well, actually I had walked two miles before snapping it....

The promise of a new day and a new beginning....
