Pear Apples

There is a good crop of prickly pear cactus "apples" or tunas this year.  It always is a curosity to me how they are eaten by wildlife in a short time.

The "Boys" are back...

These bucks all act like buddies now.  In about a month they will start to scrape off the velvet on their antlers and not be so chummy.

Ella's favorite at the ranch

 These troughs are a welcomed place for a dog to cool down.

 She enjoys splashing around and ducking her head under the surface.

 Soon she is out and what's next?

Her soakings are always followed by a good roll in the dirt.

In the cool of the night.

Everyone's hungry at the same time.
