FSO-Critters in our back yard

The strangest critter we have ever found in our backyard was a huge turtle that had escaped his collection barrel in our neighbor's yard.

I cannot find the picture but it was about 12 inches in diameter.

HH took it to town and gave it to some friends who love to cook and eat turtle meat.

Our neighbor found out about it and went to get the turtle back.

He was saving it for a big turtle eating cookout.

Here are the usual critters in our back yard.

These a sneaky little critters, they can move so fast.

This one sure blends in.

Black Swallowtail Butterfly.

These are gone for another year.

Between our yard and our neighbor's.

Share the JOY Thursday

Weather has been so nice here.

We need rain right now but it is on it's way.

Enjoying trapsing around my yard looking for subjects to snap.

 I love this shot.

From below the flower.

 A great shot like this gives me

JOY

not to mention the beauty of the bloom.

 Found this little momma nibbling the soft sour grass.

Tom loves to watch the rabbits in our yard.

She has a nest nearby and we see her try to sneak to the nest.

What JOY it brings us to be retired and have a lovely safe place to just spend our time doing what we enjoy.

Sometimes all is just quiet and we just watch savoring the JOY of the simple life.
