This picture that I took several years ago remains one of my favorites. Rarely do you ever see a prickly pear cactus with a bloom this color. It has been my computer background picture for years. Most of the blooms are shades of yellow. Some are shades of orange. Very rarely do you see a red bloom.
I spotted this bullfrog hiding under this log at the edge of the stock tank. Now I need to talk Sandra into carrying the sack and us go frog gigging some night.
Before I retired I never seemed to take time to notice some things like this pretty little bird. I had to go to the bird book and look this one up. I think it is an Indigo Bunting. When everyday seems like "Saturday" things slow down and you have time to notice neat things.
