Out for a drive

, , ,

Still feeling a little under the weather from having the cold I took a short drive after I finished shopping. I really wanted to walk in the park, but it's very damp, a little chilly and not the best thing while trying to get over a cough.

Started off at Wal Mart to get kitty litter. The fog was heavy and the Sprint tower looks as if it disappears into the foggy sky.




Driving down my street, this Great Blue Heron landed in front of my truck, saw me and drifted quickly to the side of the road.

While I was out I thought I should pick up chicken feed and hay at the feed store and noticed this little guy sitting on top of the trailer that houses the hay bales. I'm not sure what kind he is. I looked him up on the internet and thought it might be a Cooper's Hawk. Maybe a juvenile?? He was quite small. If so, here is his call:

The oranges are ripe. I was following this truck and was amazed at the strong smell of fresh oranges especially in the open air at 60mph.


Ready to start planting for the next tomato season. The round bundles are the stakes for the tomato plants.









On my way to the grocery.....

I was just driving into the grocery parking lot and saw this guy, which I think is a Great Blue Heron. I don't normally take the camera to the gorcery, but I have been seeing a wild pig family at the end of our road and have been taking the camera in hopes of getting their picture.
