Wings and Things

After two days of traveling in Belle and two days on the trails, we opted for a lazy Sunday. Being in Moab at Portal is one of my favorite places to call home. As I perched in my outdoor recliner with the pups our yard was full of life as quick moving and energetic wings fluttered, hovered, and swooped in all directions. 

 It is so peaceful and quiet...catching myself dozing off and waking up to enjoy the sun's light illuminating the roses and sunflowers...

 ...or to catch a deer or two or three munching on the tall grass in the meadow.

The grass has grown and so have those antlers since June!

I did wander across the street to the koi pond for a few more photos...

Hope you are having a great week. Things are pretty quiet around here...and that is not a complaint.

Until next time...did you know that only male frogs call and females can only make short chirpy sounds or peeps? The male's calls advertise their species, general fitness, size, and territory. Notice the round circle behind his eye. That is the frog's eardrum which acts as a shield and cover for their inner ear. It works both under and above water to detect sounds. Vibrations are shuttled all through their body and lungs to an inner ear in their chest...

...now that's pretty cool! So, whether you call or peep, make some noise and let the good-times-roll!

Our Yard!

We arrived in Moab on May 20th, but couldn't move to our favorite site until the first of June.  Once there we were set to watch for deer in the meadow.  And how I love roses!.

What a neat reflection in the water droplet!

 The mornings have been nice and cool and we are enjoying having our coffee and/or smoothies outside while the deer
also enjoy their breakfast. We saw 6 one morning!

 The puppies are quite content There is a very grassy doggie park here where the puppies can play ball off leash as well as the X-pen space on our site at the back (gives them more shade in the afternoon) of the Belle.

Wrecks enjoys a morning nap...

Jack is all go...

Sally has her eye on the birds...

And Dover agrees there is something special in the air!

It's time to wake up little Black-eyed Susan!

And no post about our yard would be complete without pictures of birds. We have at least one pair of Black-chinned Hummingbirds visiting regularly.

Sally must be hiding!

Joe and I have been busy as bees this past week. We have hiked, jeeped, and had an adventure in the sky with some very special people we now call family. More on that later!

This huge bee is certainly doing it's job...what a head full of pollen!

Last week we were having dinner on the patio. What a really cool smiley face! 

Thanks for sharing Dee!

Until next time, enjoy!

Up next...

Kathleen, Erja, and me
