goldilocks is missing two bears

and i found them while making deliveries yesterday.

i couldn't stop to get pictures

but i was able to take this out of the car window

as i drove by while dodging the people all over the road






in the evening

i drove @ 1/2 mile up the road to mormon row

(which is the only place to get cell reception)

to make a call to get an audrey update.

after the call,

i watched the sun set

while i listened to the birds and coyotes

sing their evening songs.










as i drove up the road to turn around and go home

i saw something i never thought i would ever see,

especially so close to home......


a WOLF!!!!!



when i left to make the phone call

i did not take my camera,

so i only had john's small camera.

it was almost dark and the picture is bad,

but it is my trophy wolf picture.

what a amazing thing it was

to be able to watch the black wolf

run thru the tall green grass

stopping to sniff something that got his attention

and then return to running across the field.

this is one of my worst quality pictures

but it is also one of my best photographs




.

up close and personal

on father's day sunday

this guy was at the duck ponds

on the north end of town.

he was there most of the day

just wandering back and forth






along the fence and munching on the shrubs.





we could stand on the wood deck

and just about reach out and touch him.































flower power

the fields are ablaze with flowers right now.

mostly, different varieties of yellow

with a blue or white thrown in for fun.

these were taken over the weekend.

they don't show the dramatic effect of looking out across the prairie

and seeing never ending bright yellow flowers.

hopefully, you can atleast get an idea of what it looks like.















today, because john had to work overtime

i drove myself home

and stopped to take more pictures of the flowers.

unfortunately, a storm is on it's way

and the wind picked up as soon as i got out of the truck.

between the sun and warm wind

the flowers are a bit beat up.
